Is the Simera-C autofocus?

No. It is a fully manual lens with geared focus and aperture rings, made for follow-focus use.

What mount does it come in?

It is offered in mirrorless mounts such as Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF and Leica M, not PL. Check the mount before buying.

Is T1.5 usable wide open?

Yes, but it is soft at T1.5. Most shooters stop down a little for critical sharpness and use T1.5 for low light or a softer look.

Does it cover full frame?

Coverage depends on the mount version. Confirm the image circle for your sensor before buying.

Is it good for video only?

It is built for cine work: geared rings, clickless aperture and no electronic contacts. Stills shooters can use it, but manual focus slows them down.

Our take on the Thypoch Simera-C T1.5 Cine Lens

The Thypoch Simera-C is a 35mm prime cine lens with a fast T1.5 aperture, built for mirrorless bodies with a short flange distance. It is compact for a cine lens, with geared focus and aperture rings and a clickless aperture for smooth exposure pulls. The T1.5 speed gives shallow depth of field and usable light in dim scenes, which puts it against faster cine primes that cost far more. Reviewers rate it highly for image character and build at its tier, while noting it is manual focus only and not a PL-mount production lens.
