Thypoch is introducing M-mount versions of their Simera-C T1.5 cine lenses, expanding on the versatility of their recently released 21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm focal lengths. With its compact design and adaptability, the M-mount makes these lenses compatible with an even broader range of cameras, catering to the growing mirrorless camera and handheld market and offering greater flexibility for a wide range of setups. Let’s have a look!
Thypoch released an initial set of four lenses in October and, with the release of the 21mm earlier this month, completed the 5-lens set of Simera-C T1.5 cine lenses. With the addition of an M-mount option alongside their E-mount version, users can now adapt these lenses to nearly all mirrorless cameras via adapters, including those with E, RF, Z, L, and X mounts. These lenses are designed to work with a wide range of cameras, from mirrorless video cameras to professional cinema cameras like the DJI Ronin 4D, Sony Venice, Alexa 35, Alexa Mini LF, Alexa Mini, and Amira.
With third-party mount-kit solutions like XPIMAGE’s ARRI M-mount kit, these lenses can also be securely mounted (positive lock) on high-end cinema cameras such as the ARRI Alexa and Sony Venice systems (Thypoch recommends XPIMAGE for optimal performance).
There is a slight difference in size and weight between the mounts. M-mount lenses are 20–30 grams lighter and slightly shorter compared to their E-mount counterparts. As a reminder, the Simera-C series of 5 lenses (21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm focal lengths) have a consistent T1.5 aperture with 16 iris blades, both metric and imperial (dual focus) scales, and weigh between 353-491g depending on lens and mount.
Thypoch Simera-C lenses are available now. The M-mount single lens is priced at $959/€869, with the full 5-lens set at $4,319/€3,919. An E-mount single lens is priced at $879 /€799, with the full 5-lens set priced at $4,048/€3,679. For more information, please see the Thypoch website.

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
