FAQs
What is the main advantage of the T1.5 aperture?
The T1.5 aperture allows for shooting in very low light conditions without compromising image quality and enables the creation of a shallow depth of field, resulting in a blurred background (bokeh) that helps subjects stand out.
Is this lens suitable for handheld shooting?
Yes, the Samyang 35mm T1.5 VDSLR MK2 is designed with a compact and relatively lightweight body, making it well-suited for handheld operation, gimbals, and drones.
What does 'VDSLR' mean, and how does it differ from a standard photo lens?
VDSLR stands for Video DSLR. These lenses are optimized for video shooting, featuring de-clicked aperture rings for smooth adjustments and focus/aperture gear rings that are standardized for use with follow focus systems, unlike many standard photo lenses.
Can I use this lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor?
Yes, this lens is designed for full-frame coverage but is fully compatible with APS-C sensor cameras. On an APS-C camera, it will provide a narrower field of view, effectively acting like a longer focal length lens (approximately 50-52.5mm).
How does the weather sealing work?
The weather sealing protects the vulnerable gap between the lens and camera mount, preventing dust, light rain, and snow from penetrating the connection. It enhances reliability when shooting in challenging environmental conditions.
What is the benefit of having unified focus and aperture gear rings?
Having unified gear ring positions means that the placement of these rings is consistent across all VDSLR MK2 lenses. This significantly speeds up lens changes when using a follow focus system, as you don't need to readjust your focus puller's setup.
What is the filter thread size for this lens?
The filter thread size for this lens is 77mm.
Troubleshooting
Lens not recognized by camera
Ensure the lens is securely mounted by rotating it clockwise until it clicks. Check if the camera body's mount contacts are clean. Try cleaning the camera mount contacts.
Image is consistently out of focus
Confirm you are in manual focus mode (`MF`) on your camera. Carefully adjust the focus ring on the lens while looking through the viewfinder or at the live view screen. Ensure the subject is within the lens's focusing range.
Lens elements appear dusty or smudged
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently clean the front and rear lens elements. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth.
Aperture ring is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the aperture is not set to its widest or narrowest setting, which can sometimes feel slightly different. If the stiffness persists, it may require professional servicing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent image quality suitable for professional cine work.
- Fast T1.5 aperture excels in low-light conditions.
- Weather sealing adds durability for outdoor shooting.
- Unified gear rings simplify workflow with follow focus.
- Compact size makes it ideal for various shooting scenarios.
- Produces beautiful bokeh and starburst effects.
Cons
- Manual focus only, requiring user input for focusing.
- Can be heavier than comparable photographic lenses.
- Filter size (77mm) might require a specific set of filters.
- While versatile, it's a prime lens, limiting focal length options without changing lenses.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This lens features a Sony E-mount interface, making it directly compatible with a wide range of Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras and other camera systems that utilize this mount. It is designed to cover full-frame sensors, but can also be used on APS-C sensor cameras, where it will behave like a longer focal length lens (approximately 50-52.5mm equivalent).
Setup:
- Remove the rear protective cap from the lens.
- Align the red dot on the lens mount with the corresponding red dot on the camera's E-mount.
- Gently insert the lens and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.
- Attach the lens hood (if desired) by aligning its markings and rotating it.
- Ensure the camera is set to manual focus mode (`MF`) to utilize the lens's manual focus and aperture rings.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the lens. Avoid touching the lens elements with your fingers.
- Storage: Store the lens in its protective bag when not in use. Keep the front and rear caps on to protect the glass from dust and scratches.
- Weather Sealing: While the lens has weather sealing, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion. After shooting in adverse conditions, gently wipe the lens dry and allow it to air dry before storing.
