Key Features

Fast T2.2 Maximum Aperture

• Low-Light Performance: The T2.2 maximum aperture allows for excellent low-light performance, enabling you to capture high-quality footage even in challenging lighting conditions. The fast aperture also allows for greater control over depth of field, making it easier to achieve that cinematic look with a beautifully blurred background.
• Cinematic Depth of Field: The wide aperture helps create a shallow depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject and create a strong visual focus, which is particularly useful in portrait shots and scenes where you want the background to softly blur away.

Advanced Optical Design

• Aspherical Elements: The lens is constructed with high-quality glass, including one aspherical element that helps to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions, ensuring sharp, high-contrast images with accurate color reproduction across the frame.
• Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC): Samyang’s UMC technology is applied to the lens elements to reduce flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and clarity, especially when shooting in bright or backlit conditions.

Professional Cine Design

• De-Clicked Aperture Ring: The lens features a de-clicked aperture ring, allowing for smooth, silent adjustments of exposure without any mechanical clicks. This is essential for professional video work, where smooth transitions between different lighting conditions are often required.
• Focus and Aperture Gears: The lens is equipped with industry-standard 0.8 pitch gears on the focus and aperture rings, making it compatible with follow focus systems and enabling precise control over focus and exposure during shooting.

Telephoto Focal Length

• 135mm Focal Length: The 135mm focal length is ideal for capturing detailed close-ups, portraits, and isolating subjects from a distance. It provides a narrow field of view that compresses the background, creating a visually striking separation between the subject and the surroundings.
• Full-Frame Coverage: The lens is designed to cover full-frame sensors, making it compatible with both full-frame and APS-C Sony E-Mount cameras. On APS-C cameras, the focal length provides an equivalent of approximately 202.5mm, giving you an even tighter field of view.
