New Samyang V-AF lenses

Samyang announces the release of two more lenses from its acclaimed V-AF series. Samyang V-AF 35mm T1.9 and V-AF 24mm T1.9.

 

The new V-AF series is the world's first lenses for video creators with autofocus and is designed to make video content creation more convenient.

Before, they released the V-AF 75mm and now only the 20 and 40mm T1.9 remain before the series is complete. The remaining lenses are expected to arrive in Q1 2023.

 

All V-AF lenses are designed for Sony E-mount and have several exciting and important functions such as gear cogs for follow focus, tally lamp and unified form factor throughout the entire line-up.

Thanks to the uniform weight and size, it´s easier to use the lenses with accessories such as gimbals or drones as you don't have to rebalance, which can sometimes be time-consuming

 

The lens construction of the V-AF 35mm T1.9 consist of 10 elements in 8 groups and has 2 ASP and 2 HR special lenses and the V-AF 24mm T1.9 consist of 11 elements in 8 groups and has 2 ED, 2 ASP and 3 HR special lenses. Both lenses produce an astonishing crisp cinematic look and a 9-bladed aperture provides for a smooth and creamy bokeh that easily separates your subject from the background.

 

On the side of the lens is a customizable dial 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 slider via firmware update.
