The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC is a bright wide-angle manual focus lens for full-frame cameras, or a bright standard lens when used on APS-C/DX sensors, 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) mounts.

Offering excellent resolution and sharpness across the entire image, equalling or surpassing lenses three times more expensive, the Samyang 35mm lens is truly a professional-quality lens at an affordable price.

The Samyang 35mm f1.4 AS UMC lens was designed to fit the most popular SLR and DSLR cameras. On a full-frame camera, the 35mm focal length has universal applications — the lens is a perfect fast/bright wide-angle for landscape, photojournalism and general photography, including low-light photography. Mounted on an APS-C sensor camera, it becomes a versatile 50mm prime lens, perfect for general photography including in low-light conditions. Mounted on cameras with a 4/3 system, the Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMC transforms into a bright short portrait lens with an equivalent focal length of 70mm.

The wide apertures of the 35mm deliver superb bokeh (the character of out-of-focus areas), which is perfect for portrait-type applications, or photography where ultra-blurred backgrounds or foregrounds are preferred. This technique helps to separate the subject from the background, yielding very pleasing and professional results. Aided by its 8-blade diaphragm design, the smoothness of the bokeh delivered by the Samyang 35mm is excellent. Although bokeh character is a personal preference, various independent tests and users rank the Samyang 35mm lens among the best lenses, regardless of cost or manufacturer, in terms of bokeh character.

The optical design of the Samyang 35mm f1.4 UMC lens comprises twelve elements arranged in ten groups and includes two high-refractive-index elements, which helps to reduce its weight and dimensions to a moderate level for a full-frame lens. The inclusion of an aspherical optical element minimises and helps to reduce lateral chromatic aberration, while the UMC multi-layer coatings offer high contrast and faithful colour reproduction. The design incorporates floating elements to maintain high image quality at the minimum focusing distance.

It features a wide and comfortable manual focus ring and is perfectly suited to most photographic applications. Precise focus for critical situations can be achieved through the use of Live View focusing, available on most recent camera models.

There is a growing number of users employing DSLRs for filming and high-definition (HD) video, and manual lenses allow the user to change focus during shooting.

The Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMC has been designed with great attention to the finest details in both optics and build quality, placing the lens among the best photographic products in its category.
