Thypoch's Leica M-to-ARRI adapter provides a reliable, play- and gap-free connection between M lenses and ARRI camera bodies. With precision machining, positive locking and exceptional compatibility, it forms a solid foundation for documentary, short film and commercial productions. Delivery/availability expected from September 2025.
This M-ARRI module is developed for cameras such as the ARRI Amira, ALEXA Mini, ALEXA 35 (unmodified), ALEXA Mini LF (unmodified) and ALEXA 65. In combination with Thypoch's Simera-C optics, high image quality is maintained even at T1.5. The module also opens up a wide range of other M lenses for creative imaging.
The adapter housing is CNC machined from stainless steel while the mirrorless camera bayonet is made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. Carefully controlled flange distance tolerance ensures correct infinity focus and preserved optical performance. Mechanics are tested for 50,000 mounts/dismounts and maintain a secure grip even after heavy professional use.
The optimized bayonet interface provides broad compatibility with M optics: Thypoch Simera, Eureka, Simera-C as well as third-party lenses such as Cooke SP3, Leitz M0.8 and Leica M. The positive lock minimizes micromovement - important for high-resolution sensors and high-movement rigs.
Due to the short flange distance between M lens and ARRI housing, the adapter's support handles are removable and repositionable. This prevents collisions with large-fronted lenses or other accessories and allows for smooth installation in various rigging configurations.
The robust stainless steel construction provides high temperature stability and torsional rigidity. The adapter is built to withstand harsh environments without losing fit or adjustment - ready for reliable operation day after day.

Question: Does the adapter affect image quality or infinity focus?
Answer: No, it doesn't. The CNC-machined construction and proper flange spacing preserve the optical performance and infinity focus of the lens.
Q: Which ARRI housings are supported?
A: Amira, ALEXA Mini, ALEXA 35 (unmodified), ALEXA Mini LF (unmodified) and ALEXA 65, among others. Always check your rig and accessory clearance.
Question: Is the support handle necessary?
Answer: The handles are optional and removable. They can be removed or repositioned to avoid collisions with large front lenses or other rigging parts.
Question: Does it work with third party M optics?
Answer: Yes. In addition to Thyp and Simera/Eureka/Simera-C, supported lenses include Cooke SP3, Leitz M0.8 and Leica M lenses.
Question: How durable is the locking mechanism during frequent changes?
Answer: The mechanics are tested for approximately 50,000 mountings/dismountings and maintain a secure grip over time.
Question: Can the adapter be used in extreme temperatures?
Answer: Yes. The materials of construction (stainless steel/aluminum) and tolerances are chosen for stable fit in both high and low temperatures.
