Designed to be a vintage, normal-length prime ideal for everyday use, this fully manual-focus Simera 50mm f/1.4 Lens will provide a solid 17.7" minimum focusing distance that will help shooters get detailed close-up shots.

The lens will also feature a helpful aperture de-click switch located on the barrel that will allow for a more seamless transition between smooth and clicked operations, which should help keep the lens as a solid option for both photography and videography applications.

The lens will also feature high refractive index multilayer coatings as well as high refractive index elements. Light transmission up to T1.5 will also be possible, which should add some extra vibrant and color-accurate image capture capabilities with reduced chromatic aberrations.
