The Samyang 24mm T1.5 ED AS UMC VDSLR (Video DSLR) version has been developed primarily for professional filmmaking where high-quality fast lenses are the main requirement. The VDSLR version features a follow focus system and a decoupled aperture, allowing the user to smoothly and silently adjust focus and aperture/depth of field during filming, and to connect to professional focus tracking systems.

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

The 24mm 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, providing 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 get a field of view of approximately 38mm (35mm equivalent) suitable for photojournalism and general photography.

Camera lenses are rated by a T number instead of an F aperture. The F aperture expresses the lens speed assuming the lens transmits 100% of incident light. The T number expresses the actual light transmission.

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

Sharpness is excellent, even at the edges of the frame at large apertures, and the fast T1.5 aperture allows for a shallow depth of field to separate subjects from the background, and for using faster shutter speeds in low light conditions.

The Samyang 24mm T1.5 VDSLR is a manual focus lens. The focus ring features geared rings compatible with professional follow focus systems available in the film industry, as well as a geared and decoupled (declicked) aperture ring. These modifications allow for smooth and precise control of focus and aperture during video recording / filming. This allows ultimate manual control of focus and exposure when shooting from scene to scene with different light source intensities, such as changing exposure values (EV) from indoors to outdoors, or even in-camera fades, etc.

For cinematography and video applications, manual focus is the preferred choice, allowing focus to be changed during shooting, and there are increasingly more users using DSLRs for filming and high definition (HD) video.

The Samyang 24mm 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 24mm lens includes 13 lenses arranged in 12 groups, 4 lenses are made of low dispersion (ED) glass, plus two aspherical elements. The 24mm features Ultra Multi Coated (UMC) multi-layer lenses for the best possible light transmission, and resistance to ghosting and flare.

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

Supplied with a detachable petal-shaped lens hood, lens caps and a soft pouch. The filter size is 77mm.
