Product Description
The Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 Type II Lens (Leica M, Silver) combines timeless rangefinder styling with cutting-edge optical engineering, offering exceptional image quality in a compact, premium-built lens. As the second-generation Type II version of the acclaimed Simera series, it features refined ergonomics and enhanced mechanical precision while preserving the distinctive image rendering that has made Thypoch lenses highly regarded among Leica photographers.
The versatile 28mm focal length provides a natural wide-angle perspective, making it ideal for street photography, documentary work, travel, environmental portraits, architecture, and landscapes. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture delivers excellent low-light performance while creating beautiful subject separation and expressive wide-angle bokeh.
The sophisticated optical construction consists of 11 elements in 7 groups, incorporating one precision-ground aspherical element and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements. A floating element system maintains exceptional sharpness, contrast, and edge-to-edge resolution across the entire focusing range while minimizing chromatic aberration, distortion, spherical aberration, and field curvature.
Advanced multi-layer optical coatings effectively suppress flare and ghosting, preserving rich colors, excellent micro-contrast, and impressive clarity even when shooting into strong light sources. The 14-blade rounded aperture diaphragm produces beautifully smooth background blur with soft transitions while creating attractive, well-defined sunstars when stopped down.
The lens features a dual focusing mechanism, offering Leica M rangefinder coupling down to 0.7 meters, along with an extended 0.45-meter close-focus capability for photographers using Live View or an electronic viewfinder on compatible Leica cameras. This expanded focusing range provides greater creative flexibility for close-up compositions.
Finished in a premium silver anodized all-metal body, the Simera 28mm f/1.4 Type II combines elegant aesthetics, exceptional durability, and silky-smooth manual focusing, making it a superb companion for both modern Leica M digital cameras and classic Leica film bodies.
