Samyang expands its popular V-AF lens series with a new tele lens perfect for shooting portraits and still life, the new Samyang V-AF 100mm T2.3 Sony FE.

 

Building upon the success of the existing line-up, which includes the 24mm, 35mm, 45mm, and 75mm T1.9 FE lenses, the new 100mm T2.3 FE lens adds a further layer of depth to the collection.

The focal length together with the great T2.3 aperture makes the lens perfect for shooting portraits and interviews but also great for product and still life.

 

The new lens comes with the same fast autofocus, consistent color tone and cinematic features as the other lenses in the series. It is slightly longer due to the optical construction consisting of 9 elements in 8 groups. 2 HR and 2 ED lenses have been incorporated in the construction to give superior optical performance.

Despite being 13 mm longer, the lens shares the same weight and front size so you don't have to rebalance it when using it on a gimbal. The focus ring also shares the same position as the other lenses.

 

Just like the previous lenses in the series, the new 100mm has a customizable dial on the side of the lens that can be set to use manual focus or allow aperture adjustment by turning the focus ring.

Below that switch is a focus hold button, which allows the focus to be locked at a certain distance. The user can also assign other desired functions to the button via firmware update.

 

The new lens will also fit Samyang's new anamorphic adapter for the V-AF series. The adapter will add anamorphic features to the popular V-AF lenses and is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2024.
