Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 Photo Lens for Leica M Sliver Summary

The Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 Photo Lens for Leica M Silver is a manual-focus prime lens for Leica M-mount cameras, with a classic 35mm focal length that balances a natural perspective with a slightly wide, low distortion field of view. The fast f/1.4 aperture ensures excellent low-light performance and depth of field control, which lends itself perfectly to street photography, documentary work, and environmental portraits.

The aperture features a 14-blade diaphragm, which produces smooth, natural bokeh with rounded highlights and soft defocus areas in the image. An all-metal construction provides a premium and durable finish, while the focus ring is damped for precise manual control with a resistance point at 0.7m, which guides users when switching from rangefinder to electronic viewfinder focusing.

For video applications and when shooting events, a de-clickable aperture lever allows a smooth transition between stepped and stepless aperture control, helping to achieve silent exposure changes. A 0.45m close focusing distance offers excellent creative flexibility, extending the compositional options available beyond those found in typical .

Unlike some third-party options, the Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 is designed specifically for , which provides more precise focus alignment and integration. The compact and lightweight design makes is an ideal addition to any M-mount kit, delivering high optical performance and intuitive handling in a classic silver finish.

Optical Performance and Image Quality

The Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 is designed to handle even very high-resolution Leica M-mount sensors found in cameras such as those with triple resolution technology, with sharp centre detail and accurate colour reproduction. To meet these demands its’ optical design incorporates three high refractive index (HRI) elements and one aspherical, which are responsible for correcting field curvature and spherical aberrations, resulting in very high image quality.

A fast f/1.4 aperture enables low-light performance as well as a shallow depth of field for strong subject separation. Its 14-blade diaphragm renders smooth, rounded bokeh, enhancing point light sources without creating bokeh which exhibits harsh edges.

Optical coatings are also applied to help reduce flare and ghosting, which is effective in high-contrast and back lighting situations. The 0.45m minimum focus distance surpasses some other M-mount lenses, allowing for closer compositions without relying on close-up filters or accessories.

Manual Focusing and Handling

This lens is fully manual, with precise focus control and a smooth focus throw. A resistance point at 0.7m gives tactile feedback, indicating the limit of rangefinder focus accuracy before requiring an electronic viewfinder or live view for closer focusing.

The focus ring itself is well-damped for precise feedback, enabling fine focus adjustments, even when shooting at extremely wide apertures. For videographers, the aperture de-click lever allows seamless iris transitions without clicks interfering with your audio.

Build Quality and Controls

An all-metal construction combines durability with a lightweight, compact design, which is suited to Leica M cameras. The mechanical build provides long-term reliability, with a design that complements modern digital, as well as classic film M-mount bodies.

A manual aperture ring is available for quick adjustments, and engraved markings deliver clear visibility even in low light conditions. The lens mount is precisely engineered for secure attachment with the camera body, maintaining a firm fit without any rotational play.

Versatility for Leica M Users

A 35mm focal length is one of the most versatile choices for Leica photographers, offering a natural field of view that suits a broad variety of subjects. Its fast f/1.4 aperture is also well suited to low-light shooting, while the compact size fits with the lightweight, travel-friendly spirit of the M-mount system.

With its extended close-focusing ability, videography-friendly features, and tactile manual operation, the Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 provides you with a modern take on a classic rangefinder prime lens.
