Does the Simera-C 35mm autofocus?

No. It is a fully manual cine lens with a geared focus ring and no electronic contacts, so focus and aperture are set by hand.

What camera mounts does it fit?

This version is Sony E-mount and covers full-frame sensors. It also works on APS-C E-mount bodies with a tighter field of view.

Is it the same lens as the other Simera-C primes?

Yes. It shares the T1.5 aperture, 16-blade iris and compact cine housing with the 21, 28, 50 and 75mm in the Simera-C set, so color and handling match across the kit.

Can I use it for stills photography?

It works on stills cameras, but the long focus throw, geared rings and manual aperture make it slower than a native stills lens.

The lens ships as a single 35mm prime. Front and rear caps and a lens hood are typically included; check the listing for the exact bundle.

Does it have image stabilization?

No. It is a manual prime with no optical stabilization, so rely on your camera body or a gimbal for steady shots.

Our take on the THYPOCH Simera-C Prime Cine Lens 35mm Sony E

The Thypoch Simera-C 35mm is a full-frame Sony E-mount cinema prime with a constant T1.5 aperture through T16. It is built for gimbal, handheld and tight-space work: the body is compact and light, and the 16-blade diaphragm gives round, smooth bokeh with strong subject separation. Optically it uses aspherical, low-dispersion and high-refractive elements with multilayer coating to hold resolution and cut flare and chromatic aberration. It suits solo shooters and small crews who want a fast wide-normal cine lens that matches the rest of the Simera-C set, though it is manual focus only and has no electronics.
