Overview

Samyang has introduced a new lineup of lenses optimized for video content creators, designed to meet their specific needs. The new V-AF lineup stands as the world’s first lens series tailored for video creators, aimed at making video content creation more efficient and convenient. Let’s dive into the V-AF lineup, which is custom-designed for videography.

Unified Form Factor – Compact & Light

The V-AF series enhances compatibility with gimbals and drones by offering a unified form factor across its five focal lengths, ranging from Ultra-Wide to Telephoto. Thanks to its compact size of 73 x 70mm and lightweight design of less than 300g, users can easily switch lenses without needing to reset their equipment, ensuring a smoother workflow.

LED Indicator (Tally Lamp) – Excellent Usability

A built-in lamp on the front and mount index helps users quickly check if a video is being recorded while shooting. This feature significantly streamlines video content creation, especially in small spaces where limited equipment is available.

Supports 8K and Maintains Consistent Color Tone

The V-AF series supports resolutions up to 8K in a compact and lightweight design, making it perfect for handheld gimbals, drones, and both studio and location productions. Furthermore, all lenses in the V-AF series are carefully color-matched to eliminate any color shifts when swapping lenses. The 9-blade aperture further contributes to producing smooth, natural-looking bokeh.

Custom Switch & Button

The V-AF series also includes the ‘Focus Save’ function, typically found in professional cine equipment. Additionally, the custom mode, which can be updated through firmware, offers video-specific functions. This feature is perfect for students and amateur filmmakers aspiring to achieve cinematographic results.
