No, the Samyang VDSLR 35mm T1.5 MK2 is a manual focus lens. It is designed for precise manual control preferred by many videographers.
T1.5 refers to the maximum light transmission of the lens, which is a more accurate measure for video than F-stop. It indicates how much light the lens lets through to the sensor, crucial for low-light shooting and controlling depth of field.
Weather sealing protects the lens from dust and light moisture, allowing you to shoot in less-than-ideal conditions without risking damage to the internal components.
This specific model is designed for the Sony E-mount. Using it on cameras with different lens mounts would require an adapter, which may not support all functions and can sometimes affect performance.
The lens features 9 diaphragm blades, which help to create a pleasingly circular bokeh and smoother out-of-focus highlights.
The closest focusing distance for this lens is 0.3 meters (approximately 0.98 feet).
While not explicitly stated in the provided information, most professional cinema lenses come with a compatible lens hood. Please check the product packaging or retailer information for confirmation.
Ensure the lens and camera mounts are clean and free of debris. Verify that you are using a Sony E-mount camera body and that the lens is correctly aligned before rotating it into place.
Confirm that the lens is set to manual focus mode and that you are carefully adjusting the focus ring. Check that the focus is set correctly for your subject, especially with the shallow depth of field at wide apertures like T1.5.
Ensure the aperture ring on the lens is set to the desired T-stop. If your camera has an auto-aperture function, ensure it is disabled for full manual control, or set to a specific value if the lens supports it.
Use the lens hood if provided, as it helps to block stray light. Ensure the lens elements are clean. Consider adjusting your lighting setup or camera angle to minimize direct light sources hitting the front element.
Compatibility: This lens is designed for Sony E-mount cameras, including those with APS-C, APS-H, and Full Frame sensors. It is compatible with SLR systems and is intended for manual focus operation.
