Thypoch Full-frame Cine Lens Simera-C 16mm T1.9 (M Mount)

Thypoch Full-frame Cine Lens Simera-C 16mm T1.9 (M Mount): The Thypoch Simera-C 16mm T1.9 is a compact full-frame cine prime for Leica M mount camera crews that need an ultra-wide field of view inside the Simera-C manual cine workflow. It covers a 43.2 mm image circle, focuses as close as 0.16 m from the sensor plane, and uses 0.8 MOD focus and aperture gears for follow-focus control. Use it for establishing shots, tight interiors, car interiors, handheld movement, gimbal work, and wider coverage when the 21mm Simera-C is not wide enough. Product Overview The 16mm extends the Simera-C full-frame cine line into a wider focal length while keeping the same manual cinema handling style as the 21, 28, 35, 50, and 75mm lenses. The 16mm uses a T1.9 to T16 aperture range, while the rest of the Simera-C lineup is listed at T1.5 to T16. For rigging and lens-control work, the lens has a 67 mm front diameter, an M62 x 0.75 filter thread, 0.8 MOD gearing on both focus and aperture rings, and a 210 deg manual focus throw. The official specs list 69.6 mm length and 467 g weight for the Leica M mount version. The lens is a practical ultra-wide option for Canadian cinematographers, owner-operators, and rental builds that want a small full-frame prime instead of moving to a larger cine lens set. Key Features 16mm full-frame ultra-wide cine prime Fast T1.9 to T16 aperture range Native M Mount version 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears Manual 210 deg focus throw 43.2 mm full-frame image circle 0.16 m close focus from sensor plane 16-blade iris for rounded bokeh Compact match for the Simera-C series How It Compares Choose the 16mm when the shot needs a wider field of view than the 21mm Simera-C can provide, especially in interiors, cars, tight rooms, and moving camera work. Choose a 21mm, 28mm, or 35mm Simera-C when you want a tighter perspective, a faster T1.5 aperture, or a more conventional wide-to-normal field of view. Compatible Accessories and Related Gear For matte boxes, filters, and focus control, match the 67 mm front diameter, M62 x 0.75 filter thread, and 0.8 MOD gears. Use it alongside the existing Simera-C primes when you want a wider focal length without changing the overall manual cine-lens workflow.

Who Should Choose Something Else? Choose something else if you need autofocus, electronic lens communication, a PL-mount cine prime, a zoom lens, a faster T1.5 ultra-wide option, or a focal length tighter than 16mm.

Yes. The official Simera-C specifications list a 43.2 mm image circle, which is intended to cover full-frame sensors and can also be used on smaller Super 35 or APS-C formats. What is the difference between the 16mm and the 21mm Simera-C? The 16mm gives a wider field of view and is listed at T1.9 to T16. The 21mm is less wide and belongs to the T1.5 part of the Simera-C lineup. Choose by framing first, then by speed and rigging needs. Does the M Mount version support autofocus? No autofocus is listed for the Simera-C cine lens workflow. This is a manual-focus cinema prime with a 210 deg focus throw and 0.8 MOD gearing for follow-focus operation. What rigging details should I check before using it on set? Check the 67 mm front diameter, M62 x 0.75 filter thread, follow-focus gear position, matte box clearance, lens support, and camera balance. These details matter most on gimbals, shoulder rigs, compact cages, and car mounts. Is it a good fit for gimbal or handheld work? Yes, when the camera build is balanced correctly. The official specs list 467 g weight for this mount, and the small Simera-C housing helps crews keep ultra-wide full-frame shots compact. Can Filmgear Canada help with preorder timing? Yes.
