Samyang Samyang claims its V-AF range to be the world’s first autofocus cinema lens line-up. It employs a universal size format ranging from ultra-wide angles to semi-telephoto angles, making it
compatible with all film equipment like gimbals and drones. The tiny size of 72.2x72.1mm (dxl) and light weight of 280g allows drones to carry the lenses with ease. Furthermore, there’s an identical centre of gravity and size across the range, meaning no additional setting up is necessary when switching, saving you precious filming time. The V-AF line comes equipped with integrated tally lamps, using LEDs to display the filming status, which helps creators keep a watchful eye on the recording process. The focus ring redesign allows for follow focus without additional accessories, and the lenses are fashioned with a custom switch and focus button for optimising functionality, making these the perfect fit for professional video shooters. samyanglens.com
