Product Information

Full details

The Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 is a premium manual prime lens tailored for Leica M-mount enthusiasts who value high-speed performance, sharp optics, and a classic tactile shooting experience. It is an excellent choice for street, documentary, and travel photographers seeking shallow depth-of-field and artistic bokeh, though users should be prepared for the dedicated manual focus and aperture control required by its purely mechanical nature.

FAQs

Is this lens compatible with electronic focus?

No, the Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 is a fully manual lens.

Does the lens support autofocus via adapters?

No, the lens does not have internal motors or electronic pins for autofocus.

What is the filter size?

The lens accepts standard 49mm threaded filters.

Can I use this for video?

Yes, the de-clicked aperture option allows for silent, smooth exposure adjustments during video recording.

Is it weather-sealed?

The lens is built from durable aluminum, but it is not officially rated as weather-sealed.

Why is there a resistance point at 0.7m?

This serves as a tactile reminder that you have reached the limit of the Leica M-rangefinder focusing mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty focusing at close range

Remember that rangefinder coupling typically ends at 0.7m. Switch to your camera's live view or electronic viewfinder when shooting between 0.4m and 0.7m.

Aperture ring feeling too loose or tight

Check the click/declick switch on the lens barrel to ensure it is fully engaged in your desired mode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This lens is designed specifically for Leica M-mount cameras. To attach, align the lens index dot with the camera mount and rotate clockwise until it clicks into place. If you are using a non-Leica mirrorless camera, you will require a third-party M-mount adapter.

Care Tips:

Always use a 49mm UV or protective filter to keep the front element clean.
Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Gently clean the glass using a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution only when necessary.
Ensure the mount remains free of dust to maintain a tight seal with the camera body.
