Optical precision, pure and vivid imagery
The Simera 21mm f/1.4 uses 2 aspherical, 3 high-refractive, and 3 extra-low dispersion elements, combined with a floating lens group to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion. This design ensures sharpness and clarity across the frame, even on high-resolution 60MP sensors.
Fast aperture
With its f/1.4 aperture, the lens excels in low light and creates smooth transitions between highlights and shadows. Precision-crafted aspherical elements eliminate distracting “onion ring” and “donut” bokeh, ensuring a clean image.
The 14-blade cinema-grade aperture produces beautifully rounded, dreamy bokeh that adds an artistic and unique touch to the images.
Immersive perspective, expansive and expressive
The 21mm focal length is popular with filmmakers for its calm yet slightly surreal look. It enhances spatial depth and, in close-up portraits, creates a sense of distance while still showing both the environment and fine details naturally.
Creative possibilities
With its f/1.4 aperture, the lens creates a shallow depth of field similar to natural human vision. At 0.23 m minimum focus, it produces bokeh effects comparable to a 50mm f/1.4 at 0.55 m.
Its near-90° field of view adds depth to landscapes and strong impact to every shot. From portraits to close-ups or wide vistas, it delivers an immersive look that enhances storytelling.
Lightweight
Weighing only 428g, the Simera 21mm f/1.4 is the lightest in its category, offering an exceptional balance between performance and portability.
Versatile
Designed for landscape, documentary, and street photography, it ensures effortless handling across various creative scenarios. The lens features a de-clickable aperture ring for seamless transitions between still and video shooting.
