Exquisite Optics, Crafting a New Vision
Engineered with precision, the Simera-C 28mm lens features an advanced optical design that includes aspherical and low-dispersion elements, ensuring superior resolution and minimal chromatic aberration. This lens supports 8K high-resolution production, making it ideal for contemporary filmmaking. The increase in aperture blades from 14 to 16 results in a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing bokeh, effectively reducing unwanted artifacts such as "onion rings." This refined background blur enhances the overall image quality, allowing filmmakers to achieve a higher level of artistic expression.
High Contrast for Dramatic Depth
The Thypoch Simera-C 28mm lens delivers a striking contrast that beautifully renders the interplay of light and shadow, adding depth and dimension to every shot. Its creamy bokeh and high-contrast capabilities accentuate the subject, creating a visually compelling narrative. Fully compatible with high-resolution digital cinema cameras, this lens enhances dynamic range and texture, providing filmmakers with the flexibility needed for sophisticated post-production work.
Meticulous Craftsmanship
The Simera-C lens features advanced vacuum coating and multi-layer anti-reflective coatings that effectively minimize reflections and reduce flaring and ghosting. This technology ensures accurate color reproduction, even in challenging backlit scenarios. With an internal anodized matte-black finish that limits reflectivity to below 3.5%, the lens significantly diminishes internal stray light reflections, resulting in exceptional image quality that captures highlights and shadows with remarkable clarity, contrast, and depth.
Lightweight Durability
Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, the all-metal body of the Simera-C series offers an ideal balance of strength and lightweight design. Weighing between 380-450 grams, it is slightly heavier than a standard soda can yet maintains a compact form. This innovative design liberates filmmakers from traditional cinema lens constraints, facilitating effortless use in handheld, gimbal, or drone setups. Additionally, the internal dust and splash-resistant features guarantee dependable performance in demanding shooting conditions.
Modular System Integration
The ultra-compact design of the Simera-C lens makes it compatible with the DJI Ronin 4D, setting it apart as one of the few cinema lens sets that can seamlessly integrate with the DJI FLEX system. This compatibility allows for the execution of complex shots, such as low-angle, over-the-shoulder tracking, or tight interior car scenes, enhancing visual storytelling. The lens enriches mobility, operability, and creative freedom on set, empowering filmmakers to push their creative boundaries.
Precision Consistency, Seamless Operation
The Thypoch Simera-C 28mm T1.5 FF Prime Cine Lens features a 0.8 MOD gear pitch for both focus and aperture rings, ensuring compatibility with standard follow focus systems and cinema accessories. This consistent gear positioning allows for effortless lens and accessory swaps without recalibration. With a uniform body length of 6.96cm across most focal lengths, lens changes on stabilizers or sliders are streamlined, enhancing shooting efficiency. The 210° focus throw provides exceptional precision for manual focus, enabling smooth focus pulls and precise control over shallow depth-of-field.
Cine-standard Design, Broad Compatibility
Boasting a maximum image circle of 43.2mm, the Simera-C lens is designed to cover full-frame sensors while remaining compatible with Super 35 and APS-C formats. Featuring a native Sony E-mount, it integrates seamlessly with a variety of cameras, from entry-level mirrorless models to high-end systems such as the DJI Ronin 4D and Sony Venice. The 28-50mm lenses maintain a consistent 67mm front diameter for M62 filters, while the 75mm lens accommodates a 72mm front diameter for M67 filters.
Refined Techniques for Superb Imagery
Each Simera-C lens is subjected to stringent quality control, crafted with micron-level precision through a combined milling process. This meticulous approach ensures exceptional manufacturing accuracy for each optical element, minimizing aberrations such as chromatic aberration and astigmatism. The series delivers consistent image quality, providing uniform sharpness from center to edge, whether capturing wide-angle or telephoto scenes, thus meeting the rigorous demands of high-end production.
