I got the e mount version : even though there’s much talk of the simera 35 performing superior on M
The focus plane of the 35 simera is really wide, so let’s see about that curvature. I have no experience for checking field curvature, so I’ll just post pics
As there is no 35 simera thread I’ll post them here
((There should really be a Thypoch simera thread that isn’t in a Leica/nikon/sony sub group)!
First impressions from the Simera 35 after a quick walk with the doggy:
Build quality similar to the 50. But no way near as precise engineering tolerance as CV optics
Depth of field dots are useless - absolutely not visible at all - unlike the 50
Simera where u can see the red dots
Aperature ring is much! Stiffer than on the 50, aperature clicks are more pronounced on the 35 than on the 50.
I preferred declicking the aperature ring to make it turn smoother. Perhaps this will loosen with
Time…
Focus ring is smooth and the focus tab doesn’t have me oddly misshaping my left hand to grab the thin focus ring so close to the mount . Focus throw is short - nice! Focus plane pleasantly wide
No resistance with he focus ring at 0,7m on the 35 - which I prefer since I’m on Sony not a RF
The 50 focuses past infinity! Haven’t checked on the 35 but am expecting the same
Bokehtastic!
The awesome FM member that bought my 40 nokton recommended the 35 ZM, but for the significant prive saving of the simera 35, I’m happy. GAS please be over now
The hood on the 35 mounts really not easy with its bayonet connection. Kinda shows that the 35 was their first lens design…
But the hood is extremely solid - not concerned at all when bumping the lens . Which I did onto a metal frame earlier
I can probably remove the Zeiss protective filter (non-UV coated) that i put on the 35 - as the hood provides massive protection and the lens groups don’t move into the lens like on the 50
Pls tell me If u can see any field curvature here
Midday STRONG Florida sun up ahead (12pm)

PS: thanks again Phillip, resizing to 1500 pix wide was super easy on C1 and the files are below 1MB!!!
