50mm T1.5 VDSLR for CANON mount from Samyang

Product Overview Samyang’s 50mm T1.5 AS UMC VDSLR lens is designed as a video lens for cameras and camcorders fitted with full-frame (24x36mm) or smaller sensors. With full-frame cameras, it gives 46.2 degrees field of view and thanks to high brightness value of T1.5 and decoupled aperture, it performs well in poor lighting conditions, ensuring impressive image quality and shallow depth of field. The optics consist of nine lens elements arranged in six groups (including one aspherical and one hybrid aspherical lens element). To ensure high contrast and true colour reproduction, all lens elements have multi-layered UMC anti-reflective coatings. The Samyang 50mm T1.5 VDSLR ensures exceptionally smooth and aesthetic mapping for out of focus areas (Bokeh effect) beyond the focal plane, thanks to the eight-bladed aperture. This feature will be appreciated by professional filmmakers and photographers taking portrait shots.


The Samyang 50mm T1.5 AS UMC VDSLR Cine Lens is the cine / video version of the Samyang 50 mm f1.4 AS UMC featuring the same excellent optics, but with integrated gearing for video rigs with follow focus systems. This specially designed Samyang 50mm lens is full frame compatible, suitable for cameras and interchangeable lens camcorders fitted with 24x36mm (full frame) or smaller sensor.

The Samyang 50mm standard prime lens gives 46.2 degrees field of view with a fast aperture of T1.5 (f/1.4) for great low light videography / photography and shallow depth of field work. Splendid image quality and small depth of field with beautiful, natural rendered bokeh by use of 8 circular aperture blades makes it especially suited to film, where separation of the subject from the background is desired.

Optics consists of nine elements arranged in six groups (including one aspherical and one hybrid aspherical lens element). To ensure high contrast and faithful colour reproduction, all elements have been covered with Samyang's multi-layered UMC anti-reflective coatings.

The Samyang VDSLR versions are rated in T-Stops rather than F-stops which is usual for movie camera lenses. F-stop number expresses the speed of the lens on the assumption that the optics transmit 100% of the incident light. The T-number expresses the actual light transmission, which is more accurate, and is the standard in professional cine lenses.

Supplied with removable hood, and front and rear caps. Filter size: 77mm Features • Hybrid Aspherical Lens Element for excellent contrast and definition fight to the edge of the frame
• Glass Aspherical Lens Element for improved sharpness
• Rounded 8-blade aperture for natural looking defocused areas
• Soft and quiet decoupled focus and aperture rings for use with follow focus
• Physical locations of gears identical throughout Samyang VDSLR line, as is colour balance for consistency
