From Concept to
Camera
Designed for Performance. Built for Production.
We're More Than Just a Product Company. We're a System.
Innovation doesn’t begin in a boardroom.
It begins on set—where time is short, pressure is high, and your tools either perform or they fail.
Simmod was built from that reality.
What started over a decade ago through lens innovation and hands-on cinematography experience has grown into something larger—a connected system of engineering, optics, technical solutions, and design built for professionals who depend on performance.
Simmod Systems is more than a product company.
It is the foundation behind multiple specialized divisions—each created to solve real-world challenges across film production, optics, technical apparel, and custom fabrication.
OUR SYSTEMS
Built in the Lab. Proven on Set. Around the World.
INNOVATION STARTS HERE
Product Development | Design
Consulting | Rapid Prototyping
CINE XYZ is the research, development, and precision engineering core of Simmod Systems—the place where every idea begins and every solution is proven.
Built on the principles of precision machining and the three-axis foundation of engineering—X, Y, and Z—CINE XYZ represents the process behind everything we create. It is where concepts are tested, prototypes are built, and products are refined until performance is no longer a question.
From optical systems and lens mechanics to custom components, advanced machining, and product innovation, CINE XYZ bridges the gap between concept and execution.
The systems developed here shape every division of Simmod—from lens innovation and technical solutions to field-ready products and future technologies still taking form.
PRECISION PRODUCTS. BUILT FOR CINEMA.
Conversion Kits | Filters | Adapters
Follow Focus Gears | Modding
Simmod Lens is the optical division of Simmod Systems, focused on lens innovation, conversion systems, and precision-built tools for modern cinematography.
What began with the modification of vintage still lenses for motion picture use grew into a trusted name in cinema lens engineering. Simmod specializes in transforming legacy optics into production-ready tools through precision lens conversions, mount systems, follow focus solutions, rear filter systems, and lens cine-moding.
Built from real-world production experience, Simmod Lens bridges the gap between character-driven vintage glass and the demands of modern cinema workflows—bringing together reliability, precision, and mechanical performance without sacrificing the soul of the image.
From lens mounts, filters, adapters, and locking systems to complete cinema lens solutions, Simmod Lens exists for filmmakers who need more than compatibility—they need confidence.
BORN OF LIGHT. MADE FOR STORYTELLERS.
Lumiere | Mirrorless System
Prestige | PL Cine System
Apsara is the flagship lens brand born from the engineering foundation of Simmod Systems—a premium cinema lens line created to move beyond modification and into original optical design.
Where Simmod Lens built its reputation through precision conversions, lens mechanics, and optical innovation, Apsara represents the next evolution: creating complete cinema lenses from the ground up.
Built from years of lens disassembly, tuning, and real-world cinematography experience, Apsara combines vintage-inspired image character with modern reliability, precision mechanics, and production-ready performance. Industry coverage describes this as Simmod’s transition from lens modification services into original lens manufacturing.
The two founding series—Lumière and Prestige—reflect that philosophy.
CUSTOM PRECISION. PERSONAL BY DESIGN.
Custom Cine Caps | Photo Caps
Custom Cine Slates
LA Dezign Works is the custom fabrication and personalization division of Simmod Systems—where precision engineering meets individual identity.
Built to serve professionals who want more than off-the-shelf solutions, LA Dezign Works specializes in custom engraving, branded accessories, personalized lens caps, specialty caps, and precision-made components designed for cinema, photography, optics, and beyond.
What began with custom lens caps and engraved cinema accessories has grown into a design studio focused on creating products that are both functional and personal—tools that represent the people who use them.
From custom cine lens caps and photography accessories to cine slates, and specialty precision products, every project is designed with the same philosophy that drives all of Simmod Systems:
build with purpose, engineer with precision, and create something worth keeping.
FIELD SYSTEMS. FOR LIFE ON SET.
Fashion | Function
Modular | Workflow
Simmod Ops is the operational and field-ready division of Simmod Systems—focused on technical wear, utility-driven gear, and professional tools designed for the realities of production life.
Where CINE XYZ develops innovation and Simmod Lens engineers optical precision, Simmod Ops supports the people behind the work—the filmmakers, photographers, technicians, and crew who operate in demanding environments where efficiency, durability, and function matter most.
Built from real production experience, Simmod Ops creates technical apparel, tactical outerwear, utility systems, and field-ready accessories designed to improve workflow on set. Every piece is made with purpose: faster access, better movement, greater comfort, and reliable performance under pressure.
Because on set, your gear is not separate from your workflow.
