Introducing the Simera-C 16mm T/1.9 Thypoch

The Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T/1.9 is a wide-angle cinema lens for full-frame cameras with M mount.

This 16mm prime lens combines a wide angle of view with a maximum aperture of T1.9, making it suitable for low-light situations or scenes where artificial lighting cannot be increased. The aperture range extends from T1.9 to T16, allowing you to transition from a subject/background separation to a greater depth of field, depending on the shot’s requirements.

The 16-blade diaphragm aims for smoother bokeh, especially against bright backgrounds. The optical formula incorporates two aspherical lenses, three low-dispersion (LD) lenses, and three high-refractive-index (HR) lenses to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion while maintaining resolution.

Multi-layer coating minimizes flare and ghosting while preserving contrast. Its ultra-compact and lightweight design facilitates camera placement in challenging situations: low-angle shots, handheld shots, cramped interiors, or -up angles.

Case studies

• Filming on location with little distance, thanks to the 16mm focal length on full-frame.
• Shots in low light with an aperture of T1.9, without multiplying the number of additional light sources.
• Low-angle or ground-level shots are made easier by the compact format.
• Over-the-shoulder shots in tight spaces, with wide perspective and camera proximity.
• Scenes with sources within the frame, where multi-layer processing helps to limit flare and ghosting.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Does the Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T/1.9 cover full frame?

Yes. The Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T/1.9 is designed for full-frame cameras with M mount.

2. What is the usable aperture range?

The lens covers a range from T1.9 to T16. T1.9 is used for low-light conditions and renderings with subject separation, while T16 allows for increased depth of field.

3. Is the diaphragm suitable for a cinematic rendering?

The diaphragm uses 16 blades, which promotes a smoother bokeh and more even background transitions.

4. How does the Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T/1.9 handle optical aberrations?

Its optical construction combines two aspherical elements, three LD elements and three HR elements. This combination aims to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion while maintaining resolution.

5. Is the objective relevant for difficult managers?

Yes. Its ultra-compact and lightweight design facilitates low angles, -up shots indoors, and framing to the subject.

Strong points of the Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T/1.9:

• T1.9 aperture : usable when available lighting is limited.
• Range T1.9 to T16 : control of depth of field according to the desired shot.
• 16-blade diaphragm : more even bokeh rendering on backgrounds.
• Corrected optical formula : two aspherical lenses, three LD and three HR to limit aberrations and distortion.
• Compact format : easier to place in tight spaces or on constrained camera angles.
