Thypoch Simera Thread


Was walking Bo with the 50 simera today.
It annoys me that there are barely any clicks in the aperature ring.
Freds review reads “ I would prefer these increments to be more distinct and pronounced, as the ring tends to rotate too freely”
In clicked mode it feels almost like the video-mode with no clicks. Have to learn the muscle memory for this!

I made some aperature series by continuous shooting while rotating the aperature ring quickly. Some pics have repetitive aperature, because I couldnt clearly differentiate without EXIF data. Was worrying that my camera couldnt meter quickly enough - but sometimes it was just the change in lighting as I was shooting beneath trees and the midday sun was strong.
Attached an image to show vignetting wide open.

So far I find this lens great for mid distance portraits that obliterate the background. Theres a lot of swirl with busy backgrounds. See the bougonvillea pic attached (taken wide open at 1.4 with the wind blowing the leaves and flower!)
The Aperature roll videos are unedited. The added pics apart from the vignette minor quick edits with C1.

Hope this helps get an impression.
Cheers,
Dan
