This focus ring is therefore also situated very close to the camera and not that easy to get a hold on. Quite often I reached for the wider aperture ring instead, as this is where you would expect the focus ring to be.<br \/>\nWhat I like about the focus ring is that it has a distinct click stop at the 0.7 m setting, so you will notice leaving the rangefinder-coupled range.<br \/>\nThe rotation angle between 0.7 m and the minimum focus distance is really short though, which makes the lens very hard to focus at closer distances.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49440\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49440\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Thypoch_Simera_28mm_1.4_declick.jpg\" alt=\"thypoch simera 28mm 1.4 fast wide angle leica m10 m11 m9 m8 m10r review 42mp 24mp 61mp contrast sharpness bokeh vignetting\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Thypoch_Simera_28mm_1.4_declick.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Thypoch_Simera_28mm_1.4_declick-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Thypoch_Simera_28mm_1.4_declick-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">de-click lever<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The aperture ring features a small de-click lever at the bottom.

The combination of bokeh quality and contrast at f\/1.4 is exactly what I like to see in a lens like this for creating <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/how-to-create-environmental-portraits\/\">environmental portraits<\/a> and for that use case I would prefer it over the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/lenses\/leica-lenses\/\">Voigtl\u00e4nder 28mm f\/1.5 to f\/2.0 lenses<\/a>&nbsp;as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-7artisans-28mm-1-4-fe-plus\/\">7Artisans 28mm 1.4<\/a> and the Leica 28mm 1.4. This Simera also features a generous 0.4 m minimum focus distance and more appealing sunstars than the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-7artisans-28mm-1-4-fe-plus\/\">7Artisans 28mm 1.4<\/a>. With their 14 rounded aperture blades Thypoch actually managed to combine nicely round out of focus highlights stopped down and appealing sunstars.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly I have less positive things to say about the handling experience (as was already the case for the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-thypoch-simera-35mm-1-4\/\">Thypoch Simera 35mm 1.4<\/a>). The lens is hard to focus at short distances due to the very short throw of the focus ring in this distance range and because of it being too narrow and very close to the camera, the focus ring is generally unpleasant to use. The infinity lock is also super annoying and constantly got in the way. I think there is a good reason most manufacturers decided to ditch those some 60 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>This review deserves to end on a positive note though. For one of their first entries in the world of photography lenses, Thypoch did an amazingly good job here. I may not be happy with all their mechanical designs decisions, but the optics are great, as they lead to the best bokeh rendering of all the fast 28mm M-mount lenses. It even manages to compete with the much bigger and more complex non-M-mount lenses as I have shown <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/comparison-fast-28mm-f-1-2-f-1-4-f-1-5-fullframe-lenses\/\">here<\/a>.

So if you are mainly interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/how-to-create-environmental-portraits\/\">environmental portraits<\/a>, the Thypoch is probably the better choice for you.<br \/>\n<em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/3OiZFaH\">B&amp;H<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+1.5&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.de\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+1.5&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&amp;siteid=77&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.de<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate links) for <strong>$999\/1049\u20ac<\/strong> (Type I) to <strong>$1049\/1149\u20ac<\/strong> (Type II) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voigtlaender.de\/distributores\/?lang=en\">find your local Voigtl\u00e4nder distributor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leica 28mm 1.4 Summilux-M:<\/strong><br \/>\nFred Miranda did a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredmiranda.com\/forum\/topic\/1842505\">thorough comparison<\/a> between the Voigtl\u00e4nder VM 28mm 1.5 Nokton and the Leica 28mm 1.4.

Personally I prefer the bokeh rendering of this Thypoch to either, the Leica or the Voigtl\u00e4nder. So instead of buying the Leica, you could also buy both, the Thypoch and the Voigtl\u00e4nder, and with the remaining six grand go on a trip to any photogenic destination of your choice and take some nice pictures with both these lenses, to find out for yourself which one you prefer at the end of the day.<br \/>\n<em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/3rLisjK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;H<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate link) for <strong>$7800<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-7artisans-28mm-1-4-fe-plus\/\"><strong>7Artisans 28mm 1.4:<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThis 7Artisans is slightly bigger and heavier than this Thypoch. Apart from that the main disadvantages are its long 0.7 m focus distance and fuzzy sunstars. It also creates nice bokeh at longer distances, is more affordable and the FE+ version also works well on Sony E and Nikon Z cameras, so it can be a good choice for people that use more than one camera system.<br \/>\n<em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?LH_CAds=&amp;_ex_kw=&amp;_fpos=&amp;_fspt=1&amp;_mPrRngCbx=1&amp;_nkw=7artisans+28mm+1.4&amp;_sacat=625&amp;_sadis=&amp;_sop=12&amp;_udhi=&amp;_udlo=&amp;_fosrp=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=10001&amp;customid=&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.de\/sch\/i.html?_ex_kw=&amp;_mPrRngCbx=1&amp;_nkw=7artisans+28mm+1.4&amp;_sacat=625&amp;_sop=12&amp;_udhi=&amp;_udlo=&amp;_fosrp=1&amp;mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&amp;siteid=77&amp;mkcid=1&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=10001&amp;customid=&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.de<\/a> for about <strong>$495<\/strong> (advertisement\/affiliate links)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-voigtlander-vm-28mm-2-0-ultron-type-i\/\"><strong>Voigtlander VM 28mm 2.0 Ultron MK II:<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThis 28mm 2.0 MK II is one stop slower and slightly more compact. In terms of optical performance this lens performs very similar as the faster VM 28mm 1.5 Nokton. If you care most about nice bokeh for portraiture I would rather recommend to get this Thypoch 28mm 1.4, due to nicer bokeh rendering thanks to less optical vignetting and field curvature.<br
