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

Like the standard 14mm lens, it features the same exceptional optics with the addition of geared rings for focus and a de-clicked aperture. These modifications allow the user to smoothly and silently adjust the focus and aperture/depth of field during shooting, and enable coupling with professional gear-driven follow focus systems. The aperture and focus scale has 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 remains equivalent to approximately 22mm (35mm equivalent), which remains remarkably wide. 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 features high build quality, with an integrated 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 couples with follow focus systems. This enables precise manual focus, 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 optical 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 reflections and ghosting. The lens is supplied 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.
