The Samyang 24 mm T1.5 ED AS UMC VDSLR (Video DSLR) version has been developed primarily for professional cinematography where high-quality fast lenses are essential. The VDSLR version is equipped with a geared focus system and a de-clicked aperture ring, allowing the user to smoothly and silently adjust the focus and aperture/depth of field during shooting, and to connect to professional follow focus systems.

The aperture and focus scale has also been moved to the side of the lens for better visibility

The 24 mm VDSLR version is compatible with full-frame or APS-C sensors and is available in Canon, Nikon, Sony A, Sony E, Pentax K and Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mounts. It is ideal for full-frame cameras, offering a high-quality wide-angle lens perfect for street, landscape and architectural photography, even in low light. Photographers using Canon DX / APS-C sensors will achieve a field of view of approximately 38 mm (35 mm equivalent) suited to photojournalism and general photography.

Cinema lenses are rated by a T-number rather than an F-number. The F-number expresses the speed of the lens assuming it transmits 100% of the incident light. The T-number expresses the actual light transmission.

The Samyang 24 mm VDSLR version is optically identical to the standard Samyang 24 mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC version.

Sharpness is excellent, even at the edges of the image at full aperture, and the fast T1.5 aperture allows a shallow depth of field to separate subjects from the background, and enables faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions.

The Samyang 24 mm T1.5 VDSLR is a manual focus lens. The focus ring is equipped with geared rings compatible with professional follow focus systems used in the film industry, as well as a clicked and de-clicked aperture ring. These modifications allow precise and smooth control of focus and aperture during video recording. This enables optimal manual control of focus and exposure when shooting scene by scene with different light intensities, such as changing exposure values (EV) from indoors to outdoors, or even in-camera fades, etc.

For cinema and video applications, manual focus is the preferred choice, enabling focus changes during shooting, and there is a growing number of users using DSLR cameras for high-definition (HD) and video shooting.

The Samyang 24 mm VDSLR lens offers beautiful bokeh (the character of out-of-focus areas), thanks to its design and fast aperture.

The optical construction of the Samyang 24 mm lens includes 13 elements arranged in 12 groups, 4 elements are made from extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, plus two aspherical elements. The 24 mm benefits from Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) treatment for optimal light transmission and resistance to ghosting and flare.

The Samyang 24 mm T1.5 ED AS UMC VDSLR lens offers a professional wide-angle lens with excellent optics, while providing exceptional value for money.

Supplied with a removable petal-shaped lens hood, lens caps and a soft pouch. Filter size: 77 mm.
