Introducing the New Samyang VDSLR MK2 Cine Lens

G'day mates! Samyang is excited to introduce the latest addition to its lineup, the VDSLR MK2 Cine lens. Enhanced with weather sealing, focal lengths etched on both sides, a sleek design, and 9 aperture blades, this lens continues Samyang's tradition of incredible cinematic video quality. Perfect for independent filmmakers and low-budget project directors, this pioneering cine lens series opens up new creative possibilities, making it the ideal choice for your 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 are 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 previous series: All 5 lenses have aspherical lens elements to reduce spherical and optical aberration, producing clear and vibrant images.

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.
