Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 review: a magnificent manual lens, now for more mounts

Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 lens attached to a Fujifilm X-T5 camera on a beige cloth.

Thypoch is a relatively new player in the photography world, but it has quickly made a name for itself with a focus on producing high-quality, manual-focus lenses. While its first lenses were designed for Leica’s M series of cameras, Thypoch is now expanding these lenses to other mounts, quickly adding the Canon RF, Nikon Z, and Sony E mounts, as well as the version I am testing here – for Fujifilm X-Series cameras. 

So far the company’s lineup includes just a couple of focal lengths, catering mostly to street, landscape, and travel styles of photography with a Simera 28mm f/1.4 and Simera 35mm f/1.4 being the first, and currently only, two lenses in the Simera range. Thypoch also has a curious collapsible 50mm f/2 lens in a separate Eureka range that I also really enjoyed playing with.
