Samyang V-AF 35mm T1.9 Sony FE

What is V-AF

Introducing the world’s first cine auto-focus lens line-up, V-AF.

V-AF was created for all video creators, ranging from single-person video creators to small productions as well as filmmakers. With the development of interchangeable lens cameras and the prevalence of video accessories, anyone can easily produce video content. Samyang Optics will apply elements optimized for imaging to autofocus lenses to satisfy creators’ desire to create high-quality video content more easily.

V-AF has increased compatibility from the gimbal to the drone by applying the consistent form factor from ultra-wide angles to semi-telephoto angles. The tiny size of ∅72.2 x 72.1 mm and light weight of 280g reduced the burden of drone payloads. As the V-AF series provide a unified center of gravity and size, there is no need for extra setting which greatly reduces time when it comes to using a gimbal.

There is a Tally Lamp that displays the filming status with LED light so even a single creator can quickly check the recording status. The focus ring has been redesigned to allow follow focus to be applied without additional accessories. There is also a custom switch and a focus button to set the optimized function for filming.

With V-AF customized accessories for professional video shooters and consistent color tone which V-AF represents, videos can be created more conveniently.

UNIFIED FORM FACTOR – COMPACT & LIGHT

The V-AF increases compatibility with gimbals and drones by applying the unified form factors with its 5 different focal lengths (Ultra-Wide to Medium-tele). By providing a compact size of 73 X 70mm and a light-weight of less than 300g, there is no need to re-set the equipment when changing the lenses.

TALLY LAMP – EXCELLENT USABILITY

The lamp located on the front and mount index helps the user to check whether a video is recorded or not while shooting. It supports video content creation more conveniently even in a small space without a lot of equipment.

SUPPORT 8K AND THE SAME COLOUR TONE

The new V-AF series supports resolutions up to 8K in a small and lightweight form, which is well suited for use with handheld gimbals and drones, as well as for studios and location productions. All lenses within the new V-AF series are color-matched to avoid shifts when swapping lenses, and the 9 aperture blades allow for a natural-looking bokeh.

CUSTOM SWITCH & BUTTON

Features the ‘Focus save’ function usually in professional cine equipment and custom mode that adds function by firmware, which provides video-specific functions for students and amateur users who dream of cinematographers.
