Typoch lens repair and adjustment
Certified optomechanical laboratory for the Typoch manual lens intervention and calibration (Simera and Eureka series). We adjusted the rangefinder cam for Leica M systems, restored lubrication to helical focusing rings, repaired 'de-click' diaphragm mechanisms, and ensured focal flatness in the collimator.
Common Thypoch lens malfunctions we fix
Because they are built on principles of pure manual optics, malfunctions in Thypoch telescopes are not electronic, but optomechanical. We handle everything from cam calibration for rangefinder photometers to internal crystal contamination.
Rangefinder Calibration (Leica M)
We adjusted the focus cam on Typoch M-mount lenses. We avoided the front or back focus ensuring that the image match in the rangefinder corresponds to the actual focus on the sensor.
Collimator and Resolution Projector
We have lens collimator and resolution projector. After any mechanical disassembly, we verify the absolute focal flatness to prevent the classic optical scheme from losing sharpness in the corners.
Lubrication of Focusing Rings
We restored the torque and the smoothness of the manual focus helical lens. We cleaned off dried crystallized grease and applied specific optical lubricants to eliminate jerking or excessively loose travel.
Diaphragm Mechanism (De-Click)
We repaired the diaphragm blade system. We fixed oil problems on the blades that cause jams and adjusted the mechanism for switching between stepped aperture and continuous diaphragm (de-click) for video.
Cleaning of Mold and Dust Inside
We disassembled the lens groups to eradicate fungal growth through special chemical cleaning, protecting the high refractive coatings characteristic of the Simera and Eureka series.
Bayonet and Clearance Adjustment
We correct play in the mount caused by intensive use and replace deformed bayonets, guaranteeing a tight and perpendicular fit in Mirrorless systems and classic rangefinders.

How we manage the repair of your Thypoch optics
At De Ese Te Fotografía we implement a workflow based on high-precision mechanics so that the Repair and adjustment of your manual lens Make sure it's accurate. Send your equipment from anywhere on the peninsula or bring it directly to our technical center.
Reception and Inspection
We catalog your lens in our system, inspecting the mechanical fluidity of the focus ring, the response of the 'de-click' and the condition of the outer glass.
Bank Diagnosis
We mounted the optics on our test benches. We checked the timing of the telemetry cam and detected any oil contamination on the diaphragm blades.
Detailed Budget
You will receive a no-obligation price quote. We will inform you of the necessary calibration hours or the exact mechanical replacement part. for free.
Repair and Collimation
After your approval, we intervene and run the lens through our resolution projector to certify perfect centering and rangefinding accuracy before shipping.
Thypoch target park that we service in the workshop
We offer a service of Thypoch lens repair encompassing the brand's entire range of manual optical lenses. From the luminous jewels of the Simera f/1.4 Series to the distinctive and classic retractable design of the Eureka Series.
Specialization in classical precision mechanics
Unlike modern lenses packed with engines, Thypoch bases its reputation on pure mechanical assembly. We address clearances, ring hardening, calibrations, and maintenance of multi-blade diaphragms.
Our key competitive advantage: We use a precision laser collimator. This tool is essential for calibrating the rangefinder cam on Leica M mounts, ensuring that your camera's rangefinder is perfectly synchronized with the lens removed.
We work on the fine mechanics down to the millimeter, using high-viscosity Japanese optical lubricants so that the feel recovers its factory sensation.
Typical interventions in manual optics
We solve the most common mechanical and optical issues in the Thypoch ecosystem.
- Telemetry cam calibration for Leica M systems (Front/Back focus).
- Disassembly and cleaning of diaphragm blades stained with oil.
- Adjustment and lubrication of the focusing helical (loss of fluidity).
- Repair of the 'de-click' mechanism for video recording.
- Deep cleaning of spores (fungi) and surface polishing.
- Optical calibration in projector (correction of decentered lenses).
- Replacing deformed or excessively loose mounts.
- Maintenance of the retractable mechanism (Eureka Series).
Why choose us for your Thypoch lens repair?
Working on a lens with a completely metal and purely mechanical construction requires a controlled environment and artisanal sensitivity. At De Ese Te Fotografía, we combine our specialized machinery with decades of experience in telemetry.
High Precision Optical Equipment
Anyone can unscrew a lens, but reassembling it while ensuring mechanical infinity, proper helical focus, and rangefinder synchronization requires specialized machinery. Thanks to our resolution projector and collimator, focus won't let you down.
We know your Typoch (especially at extreme apertures like f/1.4) is a precision instrument. We perform accurate diagnoses to avoid invasive repairs, respecting its classic aesthetics and functionality.

Common questions about Thypoch optics repair
We answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our laboratory, the cleaning process, and the Optomechanical repair of Thypoch lenses.
Does the estimate for repairing my Thypoch lens have a cost?
No. At De Ese Te Fotografía we offer a diagnosis and preliminary estimate completely free. We evaluate the mechanical fluidity, telemetry adjustment, and optical block of your lens, and inform you of the feasibility and cost without obligation on your part.
Do mechanical lens repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. All our services for Typoch lenses, including cleaning, rangefinder calibration, or focus ring adjustment, include 6 months full technical warranty.
Do you repair misadjusted rangefinder problems (back focus/front focus)?
Yes, rangefinder desynchronization in Leica M mounts is one of the most delicate malfunctions. We readjust the internal cam with a laser collimator so that the focus aligns perfectly from the minimum distance to infinity.
Do you solve problems with oil in the diaphragm blades?
Yes. It's a common problem in mechanical optics when the grease becomes liquefied. We disassembled the opening mechanism to perform a professional chemical cleaning of the blades and restored the ring's proper click.
What is a collimator used for and why is it important?
The lens collimator and resolution projector are laboratory equipment that allows us to perfectly align internal lenses after they have been disassembled. This prevents blurry images in the corners and ensures that the lens achieves mathematical focus at infinity. Very few workshops have this equipment.
Can I ship my Thypoch optics from anywhere in Spain?
Yes. We work with secure transport agencies to collect your lens from anywhere on the peninsula, guaranteeing that the glass arrives at our facilities extremely well protected.
How long does a manual lens repair take?
The timeframe is usually 7 to 10 working days. However, complex mechanical breakdowns or impacts requiring barrel replacement may have varying timeframes.
Optomechanical Laboratory for the technical service of Thypoch Lenses
At De Ese Te Fotografía we provide a Typoch lens repair service Structured to meet the demands of pure optical mechanics. Unlike interventions on modern electronic systems with autofocus, maintaining a Thypoch lens requires strict optomechanical protocols and absolute cleanliness. We service the entire range of lenses, from mounts to systems Mirrorless (Sony E, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X) up to the demanding rangefinder requirements of the Leica M mount. We solve problems of hardening or loss of resistance in the helical focusing ring, oil contamination in the multiple diaphragm blades, jams in the aperture mechanism de-click and chemical cleaning treatments to remove fungal spores inside optical assemblies (including retractable designs such as the Eureka series).
Our real advantage lies in our laboratory equipment: we have a lens collimator and resolution projector. These highly specialized tools allow us to reliably calibrate the rangefinder coupling cam on Leica cameras and ensure that, after disassembling and repairing your Simera or Eureka series lens, the optical block is refocused with perfect focal flatness and no asymmetrical loss of sharpness in the corners.
