Samyang introduces V-AF 45mm T1.9 FE Cinema Lens for Sony E Mount

Samyang has recently unveiled their latest addition to the Sony E mount collection – the V-AF 45mm T1.9 FE, a wide-angle cinema lens that joins the ranks of the already popular V-AF 24mm, 35mm, and 75mm lenses, all boasting a remarkable T1.9 aperture. One notable feature shared by all lenses in this series is their uniformity in size, with a 300° focusing ring rotation and consistent color reproduction and picture character. To enhance user experience, Samyang V-AF lenses are equipped with a standard M0.8 tooth focus ring.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this lens is both compact and lightweight, specifically designed to meet the demands of high-resolution cameras, even those capable of shooting up to 8K. Additionally, an electronic connector has been incorporated into the lens’s front end, allowing seamless communication between the lens and accompanying accessories.

The entire V-AF line of optics shares the same remarkable T1.9 aperture, as well as a 300° rotation for the focus ring, ensuring that stabilization systems need not be recalibrated when switching between lenses. This convenience is a testament to Samyang’s commitment to user-friendly equipment.

Positioned as the world’s first autofocus cine lenses, the new Samyang V-AF line for Sony E mount offers the revolutionary feature of autofocus, complementing its remarkable T1.9 aperture and support for sensors up to 8K resolution. The lens’s lightweight construction ensures a balanced center of gravity, making it an ideal choice for gimbals and drones. Furthermore, the lens incorporates a multilayer coating to minimize glare and incorporates two built-in warning lights, enhancing its versatility and usability.

In summary, the introduction of the Samyang V-AF 45mm T1.9 FE Hybrid Cinema Lens expands the existing V-AF series to a comprehensive collection of four lenses, including the 24mm, 35mm, 45mm, and 75mm options.
