Ideal for landscape and architecture
The compact Samyang 21/1.5 Video APS-C for mirrorless system cameras is ideal for creative landscape and architecture shots from unusual perspectives, as well as for street and reportage photography. Highly detailed close-up shots are also possible thanks to a focusing distance of only around 30 cm. Thanks to the very high lens speed of T/1.5, the lens delivers optimum results even in low light. The lenses optimized for videography have a stepless aperture. The aperture ring and focus ring are equipped with a gear ring and are therefore optimized for use with a focus puller (follow focus).
High-quality optics
A particularly high-quality optical construction consisting of 8 multi-coated glass lenses achieves outstanding imaging results. In addition, 3 aspherical lenses (ASP) ensure the best possible correction of chromatic aberrations. Lateral incident light and lens reflections are prevented by a lens hood, which can also be removed if required. The lens is internally focusing, which means that the overall length of the optics does not change. Focusing is manual and enables precise focusing.
Using an APS-C lens on a camera with a full-frame sensor
Lenses that were developed for cameras with an APS-C sensor can also be used in some cases (mainly using an adapter) on cameras with a full-frame sensor. Due to the significantly smaller image circle of APS-C lenses, the sensor area shows everything outside the image circle in black. The usable area of the image photographed with a full-frame camera therefore corresponds to that of a camera with an APS-C sensor and is correspondingly smaller. The images must therefore be cropped in post-processing. In the video sector, this method requires framing in post-production. The use of APS-C lenses on full-frame cameras is therefore possible, but not recommended.
Why the aperture is sometimes given in T
In photography, the abbreviation "f" is used for aperture (from "focal length"). The specified value indicates the ratio between the focal length and the entrance pupil of the lens. In the film and video sector, on the other hand, the abbreviation "T" is used, which stands for "transmission". This value is calculated from the aperture f and the light loss in the respective lens. It indicates the net brightness of the image that hits the sensor. This makes it possible to change the lens when filming: as long as the "T-Stop" is selected the same for both lenses, it is guaranteed that two shots filmed with different lenses of the same subject will be equally bright. This means there are no jumps in brightness when they are merged in the edit.
