In addition to the acclaimed image quality and the fast transitions between the T-stop values that characterize the VDSLR series, the new models feature a weatherproof seal, a 9-blade diaphragm, and their focal lengths are visible from both sides, which is useful for professional applications. The lenses available in the series are very versatile and available with seven different mounts (including Sony FE and Canon RF), and also cover the entire sensor field. Another model: VDSLR 14mm T3.1 MK2 will be available in Q1 2021.
Your first set of film lenses
Samyang paved the way for others in the field of beginner film lenses when it launched its VDSLR series in 2014. Thanks to the incredible image quality achieved with Samyang lenses, this groundbreaking series has allowed independent filmmakers and low-budget film directors to broaden their creativity horizons with the purchase of their first set of cine lenses. During these six years, Samyang has gained experience in the market and now introduces the modernized VDSLR MK2 series with new useful functions.
The most popular focal lengths available with seven different mounts
For now, the new VDSLR MK2 series will have four focal lengths: 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm. The 14mm T3.1 lens will be ready in the first quarter of 2021. In this series you will find the lenses that are essential for any creative or commercial project. All 4 lenses are available and fully compatible with seven camera mounts: Canon EF, Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon F, Canon M, Fuji X and MFT . Suitable for both DSLR and mirrorless systems. They will prove themselves in all film projects around the world.
The wide range of rotation of the focus ring and smooth aperture operation The
compact dimensions of the Samyang VDSLR lens make this equipment ideal for handheld or gimbal filming. The 50mm VDSLR T1.5 MK2 lens is only 7.47cm long and weighs only 525.8g, but has all the essential features, including a continuously adjustable aperture (de-click system) and a focus ring. The large rotation range of the focus ring (over 130 °) allows operators to precisely focus on the exact subject, giving shots a more professional look than autofocus lenses.
Possibility of using a full-frame sensor
Despite their compact size, VDSLR MK2 lenses allow full coverage of the full-frame sensor (36x24 mm) and are suitable for recording high-quality video materials. The new series of lenses inherit the outstanding image quality from its predecessor: aspherical elements are used in all four lenses to reduce spherical and optical aberration, so that the resulting images are free of defects and are clear. The 50mm model also uses a hybrid aspherical element to keep the lens's compact dimensions without compromising performance.
High-speed T1.5 lens for low light conditions
A versatile lens that saves time and money for independent filmmakers. All four Samyang VDSLR MK2 lenses feature a fast-acting T1.5 aperture to let in a large amount of light, making it easier for operators to concentrate more on stage and creativity without having to worry about image quality even in poor lighting conditions. In addition, the availability of a shallow depth of field allows you to blur the background and draw attention to the subject, making it easier to tell a story.
Exceptional bokeh and stars The
lenses on the new VDSLR MK2 series have been upgraded with a 9-blade aperture for the most fashionable effects. The smooth and circular bokeh effect makes the image appear three-dimensional and creates an attractive blur effect. By using small apertures, you can also achieve a star-shaped light source with 18 rays.
Protection against weather conditions
In response to the requests of many users, the MK2 series is equipped with a weatherproof gasket. It protects the most vulnerable gap between the lens and the mount on the camera from dust, rain and snow. With these lenses you can capture stunning landscapes in imperfect conditions.
Modified design with scale on the side
Samyang's VDSLR MK2 models are distinguished by an elegant and completely new design. The black matte finish is practical and looks professional on set. The lenses are light but solid and will be perfect for numerous projects. The distance scale can be read from both sides as well as the focal length. These functions make the work of shooters and camera assistants more intuitive.
