The secret why many youtubers fail is that they do not care about entertainment. This video is great example why this channel is so unique. You can watch it even if you do not care about gear. Really like this style 👍 thanks for that.
❤❤❤thank you Konrad! I appreciate you saying that. I almost made this video more "regular" because I thought it's not professional enough. But I love to have fun with things. And this is just my first look video. I plan to share more videos where I use this lens✌🏻
Your images came out great. I really like the rendering of this lens too. Its nice to see a higher quality lens that is different from the typical cheap manual focus lenses. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Can’t wait to see the comparison between the Voigtlander 28/1.5 and the production model! I think my biggest issue with this lens is the focus throw. The difference between 0.7m and 0.4m is so small…that looks really annoying for precise focusing wide open at close distances.
I will try to get my hands on the Voigtländer✌🏻 The short focus throw is honestly not as bad as you think. I find it very comfortable to focus closely. I don't like when lenses turn forever just to get to the minimum focus distance.
The lens and IQ looking great on ZF. May i ask for using the lens, does it allow you to have green/yellow box of confirmation focus which zf are well know for? Secondly, do the pictures taken have any exposure data like iso aperture etc? Thank you!
Looks really nice! Exactly what I’m looking for in size, speed, focal range and MF… I just hope they make a Nikon version that focuses in the same direction as other Nikon lenses!
Hello. Very nice and interesting video. I just purchased the Thypoch Simera 28mm F1.4 Asph with native Nikon Z mount some days ago and frankly i’m waiting it impatiently for my Nikon Zf. I will write you my feedback when I will use it for some time. 👍
It seems that they have a great lens at a great price. Logic would say they need models to fit all of the major brands in order to make money. Maybe they think that only Leica owners can afford a price that still provides them with a decent profit. At another Euros 100 more it would still be a good buy as long as it fits your camera. Adaptors can be the devil's work and just increase the length of your lens. Great pics Samuel, I'm sure Thypoch will be be pleased. Look forward to an update, hopefully with a production lens and better still if it's direct fit for the Zf.
Sometimes I get so pulled in by Samuel's personality and outlook on things that I forget he is so fucking good. These images are breathtaking. Wow. Wow. Wow.
I like that there are new brands entering the lens arena! I recently picked up a couple TTArtisan lenses to use on my Nikon Z50. It’s nice to have lens options that don’t cost $1000… I also have a few of those haha.
Nice work. My copy of the lens, 35mm, arrived last Wednesday and the first roll of « lomography lady grey » has been shot today. (Leica M2) I’ve developed it and it looks nice and sharp. (Not scanned yet) On the other hand I wasn’t convinced about the lens on my Sony a6700. Very difficult to get good focus with it. (It will take some practice..) Unfortunately I can’t put the lens on my Panasonic GX9 because of the lens element that sticks out of the back!!! (On the 35mm lens, no idea about the 28mm lens) Anyway I’m taking far more images with my M2 then with the Sony or Panasonic. Keep on creating your videos…
The lens looks great but I'm actually more interested in the voigtlander adapter. Is there something substantial over that makes it better than the budget options? My two most used lenses are voigtlander that are adapted to my X-T5.
Oh the lens is interesting! But the Voigtlander 28mm is as well! If you would make a short tutorial how the manual focusing on the ZF works with your lenses, that would be fine! 😊
The rendering looks pretty sweet. I currently have the voigtlander 28mm f2 ultron ii for my zf (black on brass). Waiting to see the new cv 28mm f1.5, but I like the size of the f2.
I've not started watching yet... really hope you like it as I've got one on order already to round out a 28/40/90 fast prime lens trio! Fingers crossed... here we go
Phew. Yeah, I was looking at the Voigtlander one and I have trees in so many of my photos the CA really put me off. I think the trade off with the Thypoch being bigger will be better IQ at the edges and fewer aberations. I'm having a no new cameras year this year but next year might involve adding a M240 or M246 to the mix and these will be ready to go! Your indoor photos of your brother and the ballet recital certainly helped sell it to me! Not a fan of the wide chunkyness of most mirrorless lenses. They get a different reaction from people being photographed, i swear.
@@dan-le-brunhaha yes smaller lenses work better on the street! I think you will really like it! It's my everyday lens now on my ZF and got so many cool photos of everyday scenes and family pictures and they all have a little bit of magic thanks to this lens 😊 it has a bit of a cinema lens look. Excited to see the improved production version.
The "Typoch" lenses are truly very interesting. It's also great that there is a new manufacturer, even if it comes across as somewhat pretentious. Nevertheless, I would prefer the Nokton because an infinity lock is just super annoying, and a regular focus tab is more comfortable.
Checking on line some videos and reviews looks like this lens have way less C.A than my Leica Summilux 28 f1.4.......a real surprise.....and a shame for leica Thanks for this video !!!!!
I have put it onto a Leica M11! It felt fairly compact to me. Nice balance. And the viewfinder was not blocked too much without the hood. A 28mm Summilux will take much more space in the rangefinder.
You indeed exaggerated the size of the Leica Summilux-M 28 mm f/1.4! If the size is important to you, you could use an M10 or M11 instead of a Nikon mirrorless camera. I have nothing against Nikon cameras (and lenses); I’m thinking of getting a Z9 to complement my Leica cameras.😅
Honestly, even if this lens ends up performing poorer overall compared to the Voigtlander, their name is going to be linked to Voigtlander (which is a good thing for them). They also offer something Voigtlander has failed to do so far: letting you know when you’ve passed 0.7m close focusing, AND switchable click/declick aperture ring which is great for video, even if I don’t shoot video myself. Very smart moves by Thypoch.
At 1.4 in even at F4 manual lenses are hidious when you’re shooting moving subject they’re practically unusable for moving action which makes them useless
@@naduncan100 😂😂😂 you think I don't know that? I am German and Japanese. The only reason I am pronouncing it how Americans do is because that's how they say it and I am making videos in English. Yes it's not correct but I also don't expect westerners to pronounce my Japanese name right. Japanese people constantly pronounce English words wrong but do I care? No.
The lens costs 700 bucks. For that kind of money I rather buy a Voigtlander, which is made by Cosina, sorry. Cosina is a tursted brand, this Chinese lens is new and who knows, if in 1-2 years it falls apart.
Any new lens manufacturer will face this challenge. I heard that they have a cinema lens manufacturer behind them making the lenses. So they are not totally inexperienced. But yeah, your best bet is to always go with a maker that has been around for a while and earned its reputation. I do hope Thypoch will keep making lenses because they are doing something different and I appreciate that.
I would buy a second Zeiss Distagon 28mm f2 zf2 in Nikon F mount for this money , there is no other lens thats so unique on the market . my second option would be the 28mm 2.8 zm biogon and of course voigtländer 28mm f2.0
@@lukykentuckyodd comparison because although the zeiss zf 28 is a great lens it’s a lot larger and requires an adapter twice the size of a rangefinder lens. The Zm Biogon also great is an f2.8 so not really comparable to an f1.4.
@@kjltube I have a z6 and d500 I can use it on both with adapter on the z6 and without on D500 , my point is that this lens is difficult to get in Europe and it holds its value with unique rendering that you don’t see in other 28mm lenses and I would buy it over a Chinese lens that’s smaller and 1.4 . , now Voigtlander has a 28mm 1.5 and its small or smaller then the typoch .
@@kjltube i don’t need a 1.4 i am tired of blurry photos 😆 the zeiss biogon 28mm 2.8 is already sharp with great contrast from 2.8 some 1.4 lenses you must stop down a lot to get this kind of performance
I'm sorry but these new Chinese lenses are trash! Falling apart! Why those companies, don't get a replacement, out there? I was in another field! The watches all crap. You want a good lens, get your companies version! Used! Maybe not f1,5, 1,4 but tested and reliable. None circular out of focus, indicates something wrong! Don't push untested gear! Your last video, the worst.. Alpa's Macro Switar lens was good. Not perfect.

I agree! I have no camera I could use this lens with, nor intention of getting one. But Samuel's videos are always interesting to watch :)
SO true. Samuel allways manages to crack me up with his humour.
This is so true! Love the outro, made me laugh
I bought this lens after watching your video. Thank you for your wonderful feedback.

thanks! Yes I agree, I was pleasantly surprised by the images that come out of it. They don't look "budget"👍
Thanks!
Looks very promising. I appreciate their philosophy. The visual indicator for range-focus is very charming. The images also look good. Thanks!
Seems to be great lenses! Good content! Thank you for sharing!
Have you tried the version native for Nikon Z mount ?
This holes in the lens would worry me in the rain, interesting idea though! The lens rendering looks nice 👍
New year’s photos are amazing!
Great video, Samuel. Always an inspiration. The Nikon ZF is my next camera!!!
Very nice photographs with some vintage look.

Have a question, not about the lens though. How are you covering up the Nikon logo on your Zf?
an 18mm fuji version with focus tab would be godlike :) insta buy for me

If you would make a short tutorial how the manual focusing on the ZF works with your lenses, that would be fine! 😊
How would you compare this (sharpness and bokeh quality) over your NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E?
What happened to the CLE?
Those images were MAJESTY-C 😅, but really thought all the shots you took were pretty spectacular especially since the lense is a manual focus.
Loves your videos Samuel
Thank you Ruben😊
Thanks for the review. I enjoyed the photos. May I know if you’re using Adobe standard for camera profile?
Wondering how it compares to the Voigtländer 28 1.5 in terms of image and build quality
The rendering looks pretty sweet. I currently have the voigtlander 28mm f2 ultron ii for my zf (black on brass). Waiting to see the new cv 28mm f1.5, but I like the size of the f2.
Samuel, did you get your production version and did you keep it? 3 months later, did you keep it and what are 3 months impressions?
Hello Samuel. What's the grip you're using for this Nikon ZF. I just bought ZF and i think should have grip for it :)
So can buy it at the Leica store in Hamburg?
Will you test the new Voigtlander 18 mm 2.8 for fuji X?
How long is the lens? Look quite big for a rangefinder lens
Why not run a fujifilm gfx 50r instead of the Nikon?

Wow whata lens 😎👍 like it a lot … hmmm 🤔 what a price will be for it ? Let’s wait.
Cool Sam 👌🏻
Loved the shots, lens seems pretty good to me.
Thanks! It's pretty solid!
Are you using your ‘old’ presets on these images, or have you created new ones for ZF files?
I only used the Nikon Profiles here. Mostly Rich Tone Portrait and some Monochrome Profiles :)
@@SamuelStreetlife The color one is lovely. Will have to try it myself. PS, let me buy you a beer (or coffee) next time you are back here in Tokyo.

Will it be available in Europe?
I have seen it on a lot of German online camera stores so I assume it will be available in Europe.
I am very interested in your gloves :P Mind sharing some info ?
I think this manufacturer is going to produce native Z lenses now.
Did you try that on a leica? That seems a like a long lens that might get into view quite a lot in the rangefinder.
I have put it onto a Leica M11! It felt fairly compact to me. Nice balance. And the viewfinder was not blocked too much without the hood. A 28mm Summilux will take much more space in the rangefinder.
I agree the lens looks quite long but after checking it’s the same size as a Summicron 28
I think that type of focus ring is called ribbed (for your pleasure)
Simera is today in Greek!
Good to know! 😄
I loved Delmars low key undewhelmed expression when you read out the sales description 🙄
😆 But they got him with their marketing because he bought one right away haha. So it must have worked on him.
He's young and impressionable bless him 😁@@SamuelStreetlife
Nice video, not sold on the image quality of the Zf seems too clinical
Lol great ending of the video.
I know it's weird but I wish someone could try it on a GFX body.
Oh, how I would love a native 28mm for Sony E...
It´s there, right know :)
Awesome images and look great even with crop. Couldn't have done a better job reviewing a non weather sealed lens in rain and snow! HA!
Fun!👍🏾
Thypoch roughly translates to "your era", for the young people here born after the renaissance. 😂
Thypoch? Everything has its limits.
Why it has a smooth bokehh 😢

Voigtländer will have less elements. I really prefer lenses with less glass. The images are less perfect but more pleasing to my eyes.

Vignetting is cruel. As 'Artistic' as my sock drawer.
The colors of this lens are not comparable to those of Nikon's native lenses.
Good review! Basically a 50% useless lens. You use manual focus lens to:
1) Control your focus 😃
2) Zone focussing... ☠️
