Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T1.9 Cine Lens (Sony E)

The Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T1.9 Cine Lens is a compact, full-frame cinema prime designed for Sony E-mount cameras, delivering an ultra-wide perspective with professional optical performance in a highly portable form factor. Built for filmmakers working in tight environments, it excels in low-angle shots, confined spaces, and dynamic handheld or gimbal work where flexibility and image quality are equally critical.

With a fast T1.9 maximum aperture and a consistent T1.9–T16 range, the lens performs exceptionally well in low-light conditions while maintaining precise exposure control across the entire aperture range. Its 16-blade diaphragm produces smooth, rounded bokeh, enhancing subject separation and giving images a cinematic, organic feel.

Optically, the Simera-C 16mm incorporates a sophisticated design featuring two aspherical elements, three low-dispersion (LD) elements, and three high-refractive (HR) elements. This configuration helps minimise chromatic aberrations, distortion, and flare while maintaining high-resolution detail and edge-to-edge clarity. A multilayer coating further reduces ghosting and flare while improving overall contrast, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

Despite its professional-grade optical construction, the lens remains lightweight and compact, making it ideal for run-and-gun filmmaking, travel setups, and multi-camera productions where size and efficiency matter as much as image quality.
