Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 Full-Frame Lens for Leica M Black Summary
The Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 Full-Frame Lens for Leica M Black is a manual-focus prime lens for M rangefinder cameras. It builds on the strengths of the original Simera 35mm f/1.4 lens, with this 50mm model providing another hugely popular natural perspective for photographers to choose. This focal length is ideal for portraiture, street photography, and general-purpose photography. It also brings a fast f/1.4 aperture that enhances low-light capabilities and offers the ability to experiment with depth of field and subject separation.
The lens features a 14-blade diaphragm, which renders smooth, rounded bokeh in out-of-focus areas with point light sources and creates a soft background effect. On the exterior, its all-metal construction provides a good level of durability, while maintaining a compact and lightweight design, which complements the portability of Leica M systems.
The manual focus ring has also been precision engineered, offering a smooth throw with a tactile resistance point at 0.7m, which indicates the optimal range for rangefinder focusing before requiring electronic viewfinder assistance.
The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m, which allows for compositions closer than typically possible with rangefinder lenses, expanding your creative possibilities. It also includes a de-clickable aperture ring, in order to transition between clicked and stepless aperture adjustments, which is beneficial for videographers. A combination of classic focal length, fast aperture, and robust build makes this vintage-inspired lens a versatile addition to any Leica photographer’s kit bag.

Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 Full-Frame Lens for Leica M Black in More Detail
Optical Performance and Image Quality
The Simera 50mm f/1.4 is able to render even the high-resolution sensors, found in the latest Leica M-mount bodies, with plenty of detail and accurate colour reproduction. Its optical construction comprises eight elements, arranged in six groups, including one aspherical element, one extra-low dispersion (ED) element, and three high-refractive-index elements. This design effectively reduces chromatic aberrations and spherical distortions, resulting in high-resolution results with faithful colours.
The fast f/1.4 aperture also provides very effective low-light capabilities, together with excellent control over depth of field, enabling photographers to isolate subjects against pleasing background blur. The 14-blade diaphragm ensures that out-of-focus areas are rendered smoothly, while enhancing the quality of the bokeh.
Manual Focusing and Handling
The lens features a well-damped manual focus ring, with precise control over manual focusing. A tactile resistance point at 0.7m offers intuitive feedback, indicating when to switch from rangefinder to electronic viewfinder focusing for subjects closer than 0.7m. The de-clickable aperture ring switches between clicked and stepless aperture settings, catering to photographers and videographers who require silent exposure adjustments during a shoot.
Build Quality and Design
An all-metal housing on the lens is durable and helps to reduce weight and maintain a compact form factor. Its design complements Leica M cameras, while engraved markings on the lens provide clear visibility, even in low-light conditions for quick and accurate adjustments.
Versatility for Leica M Users
The 50mm focal length is very versatile, offering a natural perspective similar to human vision, which is ideal for portraits, street photography, and general-purpose everyday shooting. The fast f/1.4 aperture is particularly beneficial for low-light situations and for achieving a shallow depth of field, while the compact size and manual focus design are an excellent choice for photographers who enjoy an immersive manual experience with a Leica M camera.
