Samyang 14mm T3.1 VDSLR MK2 - Canon EF

Samyang's redesigned VDSLR MK2 series offers six of the most popular focal lengths: 14mm T3.1, 24mm T1.5, 35mm T1.5, 50mm T1.5, 85mm T1.5 and 135mm T2.2. The redesigned models offer not only the image quality you love and fast T-stop values, but also weather resistance, 9 aperture blades and dual-view focal lengths. The range is highly versatile and available with a variety of camera mounts. All six lenses are available for Canon EF, Sony E, Canon RF, Fuji X and MFT and are suitable for both DSLR and mirrorless systems.

The compact size of Samyang's VDSLR lenses makes them perfect for handheld and gimbal photography. For example, the VDSLR 50mm T1.5 MK2 is just 7.47cm long and weighs just 525.8g, but comes with all the necessary features, including de-clicked aperture and focus rings. With over 130° focus throw, filmmakers can focus precisely and accurately on their subjects, creating a more professional feel to video footage than with autofocus photographic lenses. The VDSLR MK2 lenses cover full-frame sensors (36x24mm) and are ready for the highest quality video production environment.

This new series inherits the excellent image quality of the previous series: all six lenses feature a special glass element, such as an ASP or ED lens, which reduces spherical and optical aberration, producing clear and vivid images. The 14mm and 50mm models also feature a hybrid aspherical lens element that maintains a compact size without compromising performance. For independent filmmakers, a versatile lens saves time and budget. The Samyang VDSLR MK2 series features fast T1.5 apertures in nearly all six models, supporting filmmakers and allowing them to focus more on the scene and creativity without having to worry about image quality, even in low light.

The new VDSLR MK2 series has been updated with 9 aperture pages and is capable of delivering the latest image trends. Smooth and rounded bokeh adds three-dimensional quality and pleasing background blur. At the request of users, the MK2 series has now added a weatherproof feature. This protects the most vulnerable space between the lens and the camera mount, preventing dust, light rain and snow from penetrating. The Samyang VDSLR MK2 models are stylish in a new design; black and matte finish add usability and professionalism to the set.
