Introducing the New Samyang VDSLR MK2 Lineup

G'day folks! Samyang is thrilled to introduce its latest VDSLR MK2 lineup, now featuring weather sealing, focal lengths inscribed on both sides, a sleek design, and 9 aperture blades. With the same incredible cinematic video quality Samyang is renowned for, this pioneering cine lens series is set to empower independent filmmakers and low-budget project directors, providing them with the tools to expand their creative horizons with their very first cine lens set.

Compact Size with Long Focus Throw and De-Clicked Aperture Ring

The compact size of Samyang's VDSLR lenses makes them perfect for hand-held and gimbal shooting and 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.

Cinematic Video Quality, Covering Full Frame Sensor Size

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. This new series inherits the outstanding image quality of the previous series: All 6 lenses have special glass element such as ASP or ED lens to reduce spherical and optical aberration, producing clear and vibrant images. The 14mm and the 50mm model also have a hybrid aspherical lens element to maintain compact size, without compromising performance.

New: 9 Aperture Blades for Exceptional Bokeh and Starburst Effect

The new VDSLR MK2 series has been updated with 9 aperture blades and is able to deliver the latest image trends. The smooth and circular bokeh 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: Weather Sealing

As requested by many users, the MK2 series now includes a weather-sealing feature. This protects the most vulnerable gap between the lens and camera mount, to prevent dust, light rain and snow from penetrating. It provides the ability to capture stunning images in less than perfect conditions.

New: 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.
