The Samyang 135mm T2.2ED UMC VDSLR cinema lens is the cinema/video version of the Samyang 135mm f2.0 ED UMC lens, with the same excellent optics, but with built-in gears for follow focus systems on video rigs. Full-frame compatible, it is suitable for interchangeable-lens cameras and camcorders equipped with a 24x36 mm (full-frame) sensor or smaller.

The Samyang 135mm features a floating design, with an extra-low dispersion (ED) lens element for maximum optical performance. A circular T2.2 aperture with 9 blades delivers excellent bokeh for close-up portraits and short telephoto shots. To ensure high contrast and faithful colour reproduction, all lens elements have been treated with Samyang's UMC multi-layer anti-reflection coatings. The lens design and coatings offer impressive control of chromatic aberrations, ghosting and flare.

Stunning image quality and shallow depth of field with natural and beautiful bokeh thanks to the 9 circular aperture blades make it particularly well suited to cinema, where separation of the subject from the background is desired.

The Samyang 135mm lens is also available in a standard version: the Samyang 135mm f2.0 ED UMC lens.

The VDSLR version features decoupled aperture and focus rings, perfectly suited to video and cinema use, and to mounting on follow focus systems. This manual focus cinema telephoto lens is suitable for full-frame or cropped sensors. It delivers vibrant colours and a smooth focus zone, making it an excellent lens for portrait, night landscape, wildlife and journalism photography.

Samyang's VDSLR versions are rated in T-values rather than F-values, which is the standard for cinema camera lenses. The F number expresses the speed of the lens assuming the optics transmit 100% of the incident light. The T number expresses the actual light transmission, which is more precise and is the standard for professional cinema lenses.

Supplied with a removable lens hood and front and rear lens caps. Filter diameter: 77 mm
