I have been using two unchipped lenses (Nikkor AI 50/1.4 & Zeiss ZF 100/2 Makro-Planar) on my Z6 since the day I bought it, and I have not encountered any particular disadvantages compared to my chipped MF lenses (Zeiss ZF.2 & Voigtlander Apo-Lanthars).
Those who buy a Thypoch Simera are perhaps looking for something more substantial in terms of image rendering.
The presence or absence of the chip does not affect image quality, and if I ever had to photograph dogs running, children jumping on the sofa, and things like that, well, I would use an AF lens.
I would like to hear from those who have them if there is any degradation at the corners of Z-mount SImera lenses compared to M-mount version(s) on Leica bodies?
