Samyang's cinema 24mm for Sony — the VDSLR Mark II with improved coatings.
The Samyang VDSLR 24mm T1.5 II is the second-generation wide-angle cine prime from Samyang's VDSLR line for Sony E-mount cameras. The MK2 revision improves on the original's contrast and flare handling. T1.5 transmission aperture, de-clicked aperture ring, and geared focus ring are standard VDSLR features.
The lens delivers 24mm at T1.5 transmission aperture with a de-clicked aperture ring for smooth video exposure pulls, geared focus ring for follow-focus systems, and Sony E-mount coupling. Coverage on APS-C vs full-frame depends on the specific version.
The MK2 designation specifically addresses the wide-aperture contrast and flare weaknesses identified in the original VDSLR 24mm T1.5. The 24mm provides a wide cinematic perspective for narrative, documentary, and event video production on Sony E-mount cameras.
Test de-clicked aperture ring smoothness. Check focus ring gear. Inspect front element coating. Verify Sony E coupling. Confirm APS-C or full-frame coverage from physical lens markings.
