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

The aperture and focus scale has also been relocated to the side of the lens to improve 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 conditions. Photographers using Canon DX/APS-C sensors will obtain a field of view of approximately 38 mm (35 mm equivalent) suitable for photojournalism and general photography.

Cinema lenses are rated by a T number instead of an F number. The F number expresses the speed of the lens assuming that the lens 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 frame at wide aperture, and the fast T1.5 aperture allows a shallow depth of field to separate subjects from the background, and to use 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 available in the film industry, as well as a geared and de-clicked aperture ring. These modifications allow precise and smooth control of focus and aperture during video recording. This enables ultimate 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 digital SLRs for high definition (HD) and video shooting.

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

The optical construction of the Samyang 24 mm lens comprises 13 elements arranged in 12 groups, 4 elements are made of extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, plus two aspherical elements. The 24 mm benefits from Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) treatment for optimum 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, whilst maintaining an excellent price-to-performance ratio.

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