Thypoch expands Simera-C series with 100mm T1.9

The new full-frame Simera-C telephoto lens with a T1.9 aperture is available for Sony E and Leica M. The manual-focus model costs $879 and $959, respectively, and is designed for high-resolution capture, including 8K.

Thypoch completes its Simera-C cine lens lineup with the 100mm T1.9

The new full-frame prime completes a series of seven cine lenses. Before its arrival, the Simera-C range topped out at 75mm; now the lineup includes a longer telephoto lens. The model is available in Sony E and Leica M mounts. Its 43.2mm image circle fully covers full-frame sensors.

The optical design consists of 11 elements in eight groups, and the aperture has 16 blades. Thypoch says the lens delivers soft, natural bokeh, smooth transitions, and effective correction of chromatic aberrations.

The Simera-C series uses vacuum coating and multilayer anti-reflective treatment. These are designed to reduce reflections, flare, and ghosting. Unlike cine lenses designed to produce pronounced flares, Simera-C lenses are aimed at clean images and accurate color reproduction.

The company also says the lenses in the series are compatible with high-resolution video cameras, including models that shoot in 8K. According to Thypoch, high resolving power helps capture a wider dynamic range and rich cinematic texture, while also allowing more room for creative work and flexibility in post-production.

The 100mm T1.9 has manual focus and a minimum focusing distance of 0.85m—about 2 feet 10 inches. As with the other six lenses in the series, the focus ring rotates through 210 degrees. The focus and aperture rings are standardized across the Simera-C lineup.

The new lens and the Simera-C 75mm T1.5 have 67mm filter threads. The other lenses in the lineup take 62mm filters.

The 100mm T1.9 is the same length as the 75mm T1.5. The E-mount version is 86.4mm long and weighs 477g. The Leica M version measures 76.6mm and weighs 451g.

The recommended price is $879 for the Sony E version and $959 for the Leica M. Some Simera-C lenses are currently available for $699 as part of Thypoch's early Black Friday sale. The company positions the series as relatively affordable full-frame cine glass: in this market, a single lens can cost well over $10,000, while even the 100mm T1.9's starting price remains aggressive by segment standards.
