About six months ago, we\u00a0wrote\u00a0in the news about an interesting line of autofocus cine lenses from the Korean company\u00a0Samyang<\/strong>\u00a0, which today\u00a0was replenished with the\u00a0Samyang V-AF 100mm T2.3 FE<\/strong>\u00a0telephoto camera\u00a0.\u00a0Despite the fact that all four lenses in the line, V-AF 24, 35, 45 and 75 mm, have a T1.9 aperture, the new product has a T2.3 aperture.\u00a0All lenses are designed to work in conjunction with full-frame Sony FE cameras.\u00a0The new Samyang V-AF 100mm T2.3 FE lens is expected in early 2024 for approximately $540.<\/p>\n

The author of these lines is just starting to make films;\u00a0I shot our new short film on one camera with a 24-70 F4 lens and noticed that most subjects require focal lengths of 35, 50 or 70 mm.\u00a0In fact, when dreaming of cinema lenses, you can aim at these three primes.\u00a0However, sometimes you want to show the hero close up without getting too close to the actor, for example, when shooting with three cameras, this is where a 100 mm lens in combination with a T2.3 aperture will be just right.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Samyang marketers carefully studied the wishes of users – many, like me, are afraid to switch to a completely manual focus, although they understand that sooner or later this transition is inevitable.\u00a0The Samyang Cine series of lenses is designed specifically for beginners, offering to plunge into the world of film shooting, while maintaining fast and efficient autofocus, which, according to the manufacturer, works perfectly in conjunction with the autofocus systems of Sony cameras.\u00a0The Koreans are also proud of the Samyang V-AF series lenses’ ability to display flesh tones.<\/p>\n

Samyang V-AF 100mm T2.3 FE supports 8K high resolution.\u00a0Of course, you can switch to focus mode manually or adjust the aperture by turning the focus ring.<\/p>\n

Although all 4 T1.9 lenses in the V-AF line have the same physical dimensions, the 100mm telephoto is 13mm longer, this is due to the optical design, which consists of 9 elements in 8 groups, including two HR lenses and two ED.\u00a0Despite the increased size, it has the same weight, focus ring position and front size.<\/p>\n
