Samyang Adds a Wide 14mm to VDSLR MK2 Series, Expanding Cine Lens Lineup
January
18th 2021, Seoul, South Korea – Global optics brand Samyang Optics adds a
wide 14mm focal length to the recently announced VDSLR MK2 series. Introduced
in August 2020, this series is an entry-point cine lens range enhanced with new
features. The MK2 set now comprises 5 of the most-used focal lengths: 14mm T3.1,
24mm T1.5, 35mm T1.5, 50mm T1.5 and 85mm T1.5. Fast T-stop values, beloved
image quality and enhanced user-friendly features come in 7 camera mounts such
as Canon EF, Canon RF and Sony E with full frame coverage.
Expansion of Basic Cine
Lens Set with 5 Most Used Focal Lengths Inheriting the renowned image quality of the original Samyang
VDSLR series, the updated MK2 series is developed to be the basic cine lens set
of filmmakers. Samyang pioneered the entry-point cine lens lineup by launching
its VDSLR range back in 2014, and it has been a staple set for independent
filmmakers and low-budget project directors to broaden their horizons of
creativity. During those 6 years, Samyang has experienced the market and now
introduces the updated VDSLR MK2 series, with useful new features.
[ Main Features ] Compact Professional Cine Lens Covering
Full Frame Sensor Size The compact size of Samyang's VDSLR lenses makes them perfect for
hand-held and gimbal shooting. The new VDSLR 14mm T3.1 MK2 is only 9.6cm (3.78")
in length and weighs just 650.2g (1.43lb) and 50mm T1.5 MK2 announced in August
is even smaller, 7.47cm (2.94") & 525.8g (1.16lb). In contrast to
their compact size, the VDSLR MK2 lenses cover full frame sensors (36x24mm) and
are ready for the high-quality video making environment.
Most Popular Focal Lengths -
Available in 7 Camera Mounts The new VDSLR MK2 range has 5 focal lengths: 14mm, 24mm, 35mm,
50mm and 85mm. These are the essential focal lengths for any creative or
commercial projects. All 5 lenses are available and fully compatible with 7
camera mounts: Canon EF, Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon F, Canon M, Fuji X and MFT.
They are suitable for both DSLR and mirrorless systems and ready to support all
types of filmmakers around the globe. Especially, this 5-cine-lens-set supports
the latest Canon RF mount equipped with rear filter holder.
Outstanding Image Quality from
Master of Wide Angles Samyang, known as the Master of Wide Angles, created the 14mm with
4 types of special glasses. To begin with, 1 Aspherical lens is used to reduce
spherical and optical aberration, producing clear and vibrant images. 3 more
types of special glasses are also features - 3 High-Refractive, 1 Hybrid
Aspherical and 2 Extra-low Dispersion lenses all in a tiny body.
Long Focus Throw and De-Clicked
Aperture Ring Even though VDSLR MK2 series is compact in size, it is
fully-featured with de-clicked aperture and focus gear rings. The long focus
throw of over 130° enables cinematographers to focus precisely and exactly on
their subjects, creating a more professional feel to video footage than with
autofocus photo lenses.
Fast Aperture for Low-Light
Situations For independent filmmakers, a versatile lens saves time and
budget. The Samyang VDSLR MK2 series has fast T1.5 apertures across 24mm, 35mm,
50mm to 85mm and T3.1 for 14mm, supporting filmmakers and allowing them to
concentrate more on the scene and creativity, without having to concern
themselves about image quality, even in low-light situations. Also, the shallow
depth of field available blurs out the background and highlights the subject,
adding depth to the story.
New 1: Weather Sealing The new VDSLR MK2 series includes a weather-sealing feature to
protect the most vulnerable gap between the lens and camera mount and prevent
dust, light rain and snow from penetrating. It provides the ability to capture
stunning images in less than perfect conditions.
New 2: 9 Aperture Blades for
Exceptional Bokeh and Starburst Effect The series is updated with 9 aperture blades across all 5 focal
lengths to provide unified smooth and circular bokeh. It adds a three
dimensional quality and pleasing out-of-focus effect. 18-ray starburst
highlights can also be created by stopping down to small apertures.
New 3: Updated Design with Side
Scales The Samyang VDSLR MK2 models have a sleek new design; black and
matte finish boosts usability and professionalism on the set. They are
lightweight but sturdy and fully equipped for numerous projects. The distance
scales are readable from both sides, as are the focal lengths. These features
support focus pullers and assistant cinematographers to operate more
intuitively. From 14mm to 85mm, Samyang VDSLR MK2 series with 5 focal lengths
will be available from February globally. More detailed information about the series
