The Samyang 100mm T3.1 VDSLR ED UMC MACRO cinema lens is the cinema/video version of the Samyang 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO lens, offering the same excellent optics, but with an integrated gear system for video equipment with focus systems. Full-frame compatible, suitable for interchangeable lens cameras and camcorders equipped with 24x36mm (full-frame) or smaller sensors. It is also part of the VDSLR II cinema lens range, offering the same colour rendition and the same positioning of aperture and focus rings to maximise comfort during shooting. The Samyang 100mm T3.1 VDSLR ED UMC MACRO enables more controlled video work with T-stop values and a focus ring installed for the follow focus system, allowing silent and smooth de-clicked aperture control and smooth focusing. In addition, the distance scale and T-stop values are marked on both sides of the lens for added convenience. 1:1 reproduction ratio for stunning close-ups, macro and creative photography. Offering vibrant colour rendition and soft background blur (bokeh), it is an ideal lens for close-up images of flowers and insects, or for capturing head-and-shoulders portraits, or for general medium-distance work. This lens comprises 15 elements in 12 groups, including one high-refractive index (HR) lens and one extra-low dispersion (ED) lens to minimise chromatic aberration and other artefacts for maximum resolution and image quality across the entire image. Samyang Optics' Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) treatment is used to optimise light transmission and minimise flare and ghosting. Allows close focusing down to 0.307m. The 9 aperture blades deliver beautiful natural bokeh even at closed positions. The lens mount is compact and robust, built from high-strength aluminium alloy. The Samyang 100 Macro VDSLR lens is fitted with a removable/detachable lens hood to minimise flare and ghosting.
