Samyang V-AF 100mm T2.3 - Sony FE

The Samyang V-AF film lenses are designed for Sony's E-mount and have a number of exciting and important features, including tracking gears, an indicator light and a uniform design element for the entire series. The uniform weight and size of the lenses makes them easier to use with levers, telescopes and other accessories, as they do not require time-consuming rebalancing. The lens range includes 20mm T1.9, 24mm T1.9, 35mm T1.9, 45mm T1.9 and 75mm T1.9.

The V-AF series supports up to 8K resolution but remains small and lightweight, ideal for handheld articulated lenses and drones, as well as for studio and outdoor productions. To avoid shifting when changing lenses, all lenses in the new series are colour-matched, and the nine blades of the aperture allow for a natural-looking bokeh.

The indicator light in the front tells you when the camera is recording. This is a feature much appreciated by tweets, for example.

On the side of the lens is an adjustable dial, where you can set the focus ring to adjust the manual focus or aperture. Below the switch is a focus hold button to lock the focus at a specific distance. By upgrading the software, the user can assign other functions to the slide switch.

The V-AF 100mm T2.3 lens consists of 9 elements in 8 groups. The structure incorporates 2 HR and 2 ED lenses to deliver superior optical performance and give your video a sharp and cinematic look. Focusing is taken care of by Samyang's linear STM focusing motor, which provides quiet and smooth autofocusing that minimizes vibration and noise. A 9-blade circular dimmer creates a soft bokeh with a blurred background that makes subjects stand out with a deep dimensional effect.
