Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 Full-Frame Lens for Leica M Silver Summary
The Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 Full-Frame Lens for Leica M Silver is a manual-focus prime lens for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. Building on the success of the Simera 35mm f/1.4, this 50mm prime lens delivers another hugely popular focal length, offering a natural perspective, which is ideal for portraiture, street photography, and everyday shooting.
The bright f/1.4 aperture enhances low-light performance and allows for precise depth-of-field control, making it an excellent tool for capturing images with defined subject separation. A 14-blade diaphragm produces beautifully soft, rounded bokeh, with smooth transitions to out-of-focus areas.
The lens’ all-metal construction provides durability while helping to keep the lens compact and lightweight, and it complements the portable nature of Leica M cameras perfectly. A precise manual focus ring offers a smooth throw with a tactile resistance point at 0.7m, which guides rangefinder users before switching to electronic viewfinder focusing.
The lens’ minimum focusing distance of 0.45m extends creative possibilities, allowing photographers to get closer to subjects than traditional rangefinder lenses allow. Additionally, the de-clickable aperture ring provides seamless switching between clicked and stepless aperture adjustments, making it particularly useful for videographers who need silent exposure control.
With a design for Leica M cameras, which includes a depth-of-field indicator, the Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 integrates with rangefinder focusing and provides a precise manual experience for Leica photographers.

Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 Full-Frame Lens for Leica M Silver in More Detail
Optical Performance and Image Quality
The Simera 50mm f/1.4 provides great optical performance, with an optical design that can render high-resolution Leica M-mount sensors. Its optical construction features eight elements in six groups, including one aspherical element, one extra-low dispersion (ED) element, and three high-refractive-index elements. This minimises chromatic aberrations and spherical distortions, ensuring accurate colour reproduction and excellent clarity across the frame.
The bright f/1.4 aperture is useful for low-light conditions, allowing for natural-looking images with minimal noise, while also providing photographers with precise control over depth of field. The wide aperture lets you capture foreground / background separation in order to isolate subjects with a smooth, natural background blur. The 14-blade diaphragm further enhances image quality, ensuring beautifully rounded bokeh for more professional-looking results.
Manual Focusing and Handling
Photographers who enjoy manual precision will be drawn to the well-damped focus ring, which provides smooth, controlled MF adjustments. A tactile resistance point at 0.7m gives users a natural cue when transitioning from rangefinder to EVF focusing, ensuring an intuitive experience when working at closer distances.
For videographers the de-clickable aperture ring is an essential feature, allowing for silent, fluid exposure adjustments without audible clicks that can be distracting in videos. This provides smooth transitions when changing aperture mid-scene, whether shooting changeable light or high-contrast environments.
Build Quality and Design
An all-metal housing on the Simera 50mm f/1.4 combines durability with a premium feel, while maintaining a lightweight and compact form that complements the Leica M system. The engraved markings on the lens barrel ensure quick and accurate adjustments, even when shooting in low-light conditions.
Finished in a stylish silver, this version of the lens offers a classic aesthetic that pairs beautifully with silver-bodied rangefinder cameras.
Versatility for Leica M Users
The 50mm focal length is a favourite among Leica photographers, offering a natural perspective similar to human vision, which works across a variety of everyday subjects. Whether you capture portraits, travel, or everyday moments, the f/1.4 aperture provides additional flexibility in low-light conditions and for creative control over depth of field.
With a compact size and precision-engineered controls, the Thypoch Simera 50mm f/1.4 delivers a highly engaging shooting experience.
