All I need

A beautiful manual focus lens for everyday use. It takes great photos and feels great to use.

Amazingly good for the money.

The Good: High resolution on Nikon Z8/Z7II/Z6II. Center totally useable at f/1.4. Even sharpness across the frame by f/4, f/5.6 if you need absolute far-edge sharpness. Outperforms all Ai era Nikon manual focus lenses and the Zeiss ZF 28/2 in terms of sharp-at-the-sides of the frame performance. Low price (currently). Excellent for zone/scale focusing due to the extraordinarily long focus stroke from infinity to close up. The Meh: Somewhat flat global contrast plus very slight warm color cast when compared to modern Nikon Z lenses. Easily correctable in processing. The not so good: Focus markings on my copy are wrong-I had to put paint marker dots for Infinity, 15', 10', 5', The markings being off makes the gimmicky DOF indicator useless. Focusing tab is not useful on a lens with a long focus stroke. It juts gets in the way of operating the focus ring in the normal fashion. Big single ghost flare if the sun is in the shot. Sharpness seems to decline at close focus. Overall pretty impressive and totally useable for general photography if you don't need auto focus.

If I change the aperture via lens ring will this data translate on the display or do I have to change aperture on camera too?
Asked by: Francis
Because there are no electronics in the Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 Lens (Nikon Z, Black) lens, the camera will not save the aperture in the EXIF data.

Does this work with the Nikons focus confirmation?
Asked by: Francis
No, the Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 Lens (Nikon Z, Silver) will not confirm focus on the Nikon Z-mount cameras. There is no electronic communication between this lens and the camera. However, you will be able to use the manual focus assist operation, such as peaking, in the camera.

Does this work the Nikon ZF’s manual focus subject detection?
Asked by: Francis
Yes, the Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 Lens for Nikon Z dos work the Nikon ZF's manual focus detection. While the subject detection works, it will not give you focus confirmation since the lens lacks pins to communicate with the camera. It will only punch in to the subject for manual focus magnification/assist.
