Fast cinema 35mm T1.5 for Canon EF with cine gearing and improved Mark II coatings.
The Samyang VDSLR 35mm T1.5 UWC II is a fast cinema-grade wide-angle lens for Canon EF mount full-frame cameras. The T1.5 rating provides excellent low-light capability with the 35mm perspective favoured by cinematographers for its natural field of view. The UWC II ultra-wide-angle coating minimises flare and ghosting.
The Mark II revision brings improved coatings and reduced focus breathing over the original version. Cinema-standard gear rings accommodate follow-focus systems, and the de-clicked aperture enables smooth iris transitions. The T-stop calibration ensures consistent exposure matching across Samyang's VDSLR cinema lens range.
Build quality is solid with an all-metal barrel and cinema-oriented features. The manual focus ring has smooth, even damping suited to controlled focus pulls. Clear T-stop and distance markings aid precision on set. The lens is compact for a fast cinema prime, keeping rig weight manageable.
On the used market, the VDSLR 35mm T1.5 II offers fast wide-angle cinema glass at budget prices. For independent filmmakers wanting a fast thirty-five with cinema features for Canon full-frame cameras, it provides professional handling characteristics at a fraction of premium cinema brand costs.
