Fast 24mm T1.5 cinema lens for Canon RF with cine gearing and de-clicked aperture.
The Samyang VDSLR 24mm T1.5 MK2 is a fast cinema-grade wide-angle lens in Canon RF mount. The T1.5 rating delivers excellent low-light capability and shallow depth of field at the 24mm wide-angle focal length, creating cinematic looks that slower wide-angle lenses cannot achieve in video production.
The MK2 revision brings improved optical coatings, reduced focus breathing, and refined mechanics over the original version. The lens features standard cinema gear rings for follow-focus systems, a de-clicked aperture for smooth iris pulls, and clear T-stop markings calibrated for consistent exposure across the Samyang VDSLR lens range.
Build quality is good with a solid metal barrel and the cinema-oriented features that distinguish it from the equivalent stills version. The weather sealing is absent, which is typical for cinema lenses in this price range. The lens is compact and relatively lightweight for a fast wide-angle cinema optic.
On the used market, the VDSLR 24mm T1.5 MK2 offers affordable fast wide-angle cinema capability for Canon RF shooters. For video creators wanting cinematic shallow depth of field at wide-angle focal lengths without the extreme cost of premium cinema glass, it provides excellent creative tools at a modest price.
