Thypoch Simera-C 100mm T1.9 Details
100mm optical design that emphasizes subject detail and soft bokeh.
The Simera-C 100mm lens features a maximum aperture of T1.9, a 16-blade diaphragm, and a minimum focusing distance of 0.85m. Its optical construction consists of 11 elements in 8 groups, and it has a horizontal field of view of 21.4° on a full-frame camera.
Thypoch describes the image quality characteristics that this 100mm lens aims for as “sharply capturing subject details, with soft, natural bokeh and a smooth transition to the out-of-focus area.” The company also emphasizes that it has placed a strong emphasis on suppressing chromatic aberration in its optical design.
Compact series design with integrated control system for cinema use.
The completed Simera-C series consists of lenses with focal lengths of 16mm, 21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm. The 100mm lens, like the 16mm, has a maximum aperture of T1.9, but the five prime lenses in between have a maximum aperture of T1.5.
This series combines a compact design with cinema-oriented operability. The 100mm lens has a focus rotation angle of 210°, and the focus ring and aperture ring use 0.8MOD gearing. The front element diameter is 72mm, and the filter thread is M67×0.75.
The overall length and weight are 86.4mm and 477g for the Sony E-mount version, and 76.6mm and 451g for the Leica M-mount version.
