We have just added a new set of Full Frame Thypochs Simera-C prime cine lenses to our rental lineup here at Cinemachine in Perth, WA. Our 4-lens kit includes the 21mm, 35mm, 50mm and 75mm at a constant T1.5, offering a versatile focal range suitable for a wide variety of productions. The Simera-C lenses bring a distinctive blend of character and modern optical performance, positioning them as an appealing option for filmmakers looking for something with personality while still remaining practical and reliable on set.
In terms of image character, the Simera-C lenses lean toward a more organic, cinematic rendering rather than a perfectly clinical look. Contrast is well controlled, with gentle highlight roll-off and a pleasing separation between subjects and backgrounds. Sharpness is solid without feeling overly harsh, and the lenses maintain a consistent look across the set, making them easy to intercut in post. Flare behaviour is tastefully handled, adding a touch of character when pushed while remaining easy to control in more polished lighting setups.
From a usability standpoint, the Simera-C primes are compact and lightweight (369-491g), making them easy to work with on handheld rigs, gimbals and smaller camera builds. The consistent physical design across all focal lengths allows for quick lens changes and straightforward integration with follow focus systems and matte boxes, helping to keep setups fast and efficient on set.
Overall, the Thypochs Simera-C lenses are a strong choice for productions looking for a character-driven cine prime set that remains versatile and easy to work with.
For crews looking to rent a compact, expressive cine lens set that offers both consistency and personality, the Thypochs Simera-C 4-lens kit is an excellent option at a great price. Get in touch today to book this new addition for your next shoot here in Western Australia or beyond.
