The new Samyang 14mm VDSLR (Video Digital SLR) version has been developed primarily for cinematographic and video needs with Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony A and E-Mount cameras or professional camcorders with the corresponding mounts.

Like the standard 14mm lens, it features the same superb optics with the addition of decoupled focus and aperture rings. These modifications allow the user to smoothly and silently adjust the focus and aperture/depth of field during shooting, and enable coupling with professional follow focus systems. The aperture and focus scales have been moved to the side of the lens to assist videographers.

When using the Samyang 14mm on an APS-C DSLR - the field of view still equates to approximately 22mm (35mm equivalent) which remains impressive. It produces an immense field of view - 114 degrees on full-frame sensors, 93.9˚ (Nikon APS-C with 1.5x crop factor), or 89.9˚ with Canon EOS (1.6x crop factor)

The Samyang 14mm T3.5 IF ED UMC Aspherical lens offers high build quality, with a built-in petal-shaped lens hood to help protect the lens from light sources behind the camera.

The Samyang 14mm features geared focus and aperture rings that are smooth and well damped, and couple with follow focus systems. This enables precise manual focusing, particularly suited to filmmakers or professional shooting with DSLRs where manual focus is preferred, allowing focus pulling during video recording.

The optical construction comprises 14 elements in 12 groups with 3 high refractive index elements, 2 ED elements, one hybrid aspherical element plus one aspherical glass element. The latest generation of anti-reflection coatings: UMC - Ultra Multi Coated is incorporated to minimise flare and ghosting. The lens comes with a special clip-on front cap, a rear cap and a soft pouch.

Available in Canon EF, Canon M, Sony A, Sony E, Pentax K, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Four Thirds and Panasonic/Olympus Micro Four Thirds MFT.
