Developed for videography and photography
This wide angle lens from Samyang was developed for the needs of videographers and photographers. The aperture can be infinitely adjusted from T3.1 to T22, the focus adjustment is soft and smooth. This makes it possible to gently adjust the focus of video recordings. Aperture ring and focus ring optimized for use with Follow Focus systems. The distance and aperture scales are mounted on the side for better legibility.

Unique perspectives
With the compact 14 mm wide angle lens from Samyang you get unique pictures. With a wide-angle lens like this, you can capture a lot in a relatively confined space or cover large, wide areas outdoors. The distinct depth effect offers room for creative impressions. With a close-up limit of just 28 cm, the manually focusable wide-angle lens is particularly suitable for sharp, high-contrast images at close range. Thanks to the outstanding light intensity of T3.1, optimal shots are possible even under unfavourable lighting conditions.

High quality workmanship
The lens is constructed to a very high quality. The metal housing is very robust and captivates by its elegant optics. The glass lenses of the lens are coated with Samyang's own Ultra Multi Coating UMC and thus provide an excellent contrast and focus range as well as a harmonious color balance. The particularly high-quality optics of the lens ensure optimum image results. The lens hood prevents stray light from entering from the side as well as lens reflections.

Ready for Follow Focus
The focus ring and the aperture ring feature gear rings so that they can be combined with Follow Focus systems on camera rigs. This allows the Camera Assistant to remotely or manually adjust the focus during take, and to change the aperture to adjust the brightness of the image as the camera moves through areas of varying brightness.

Why the aperture is sometimes given in T
In photography, the abbreviation "f" is used for aperture (from "focal length"). The given value indicates the ratio between focal length and entrance pupil at the lens. In film and video, on the other hand, the abbreviation "T", which stands for "transmission", is used. This value is calculated from the aperture f and the loss of light in the individual 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 same "T-Stop" is selected for both, it is guaranteed that two shots of the same scene filmed with the two different lenses are equally bright. Thus, no jumps in brightness occur when the two clips are edited together.

Advantages of a full frame lens on a camera with APS-C sensor (or smaller)
Save time in post-processing: A variety of lens defects such as distortion, blur, or vignetting appear on the edges of the image. If you use a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas will not be used in the first place. Thus, you automatically get the maximum quality and no additional time for correcting lens errors needs needs to be invested in post-processing.
