Thypoch Simera 35mm f1.4 Lens for Leica M - Type II - Black

No, the Thypoch Simera 35mm f1.4 Lens for Leica M - Type II is a manual focus lens. You will need to adjust focus manually using the focus ring.

The de-click switch allows the aperture to be adjusted smoothly and silently, which is ideal for videography to avoid audible clicks during recording and for making subtle exposure changes.

The indicator is marked on the focus ring and corresponds to the selected aperture. It provides a visual guide to the range of sharpness in front of and behind your focus point.

Yes, you can use this lens on a Sony E-mount camera with a Leica M to E-mount adapter. However, the rangefinder focusing mechanism will not be functional.

The closest focusing distance for this lens is 0.45 meters (approximately 1.48 feet).

The combination of the fast f1.4 aperture and the 14-blade aperture diaphragm creates very smooth, circular out-of-focus highlights and a soft background blur that can appear 'dreamlike'.

Ensure the focus ring is free from debris. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.
