Detail, Landscape and Portrait
The Samyang 135/2.2 lens brings details closer without creating the typical, gripping telephoto effect. It is more than superior to the standard vario lens in digital cameras because of its freedom from distortion and of its aperture. The lens can be operated by hand, even snapshots can be made with this focal length without any problems. Users of an APS-C camera will be pleased: they finally have a medium-length landscape lens, corresponding to the image impression of a 200mm 35mm-lens, and that with a fabulous aperture that allows safe working and unparalleled shots ever since.

Excellent light intensity
Most commonly the relative aperture (lens speed) at 135mm is T/2.8 or T/3.5. Especially with this medium-length landscape and portrait focal length, a larger aperture has been missed very dearly - or is simply difficult to afford. The Samyang 135mm with an open aperture of T/2.0 is 100% brighter than its competitors. This not only makes it possible to take hand-held shots in critical lighting conditions, but also brings creative highlights by allowing the subject to be virtually detached from the background: the depth of field is half that of a 135mm with T/2.8 transmission. At the same time, the viewfinder lights up twice as bright, which helps enormously with image evaluation before shooting.

High quality optics
The lens has a very innovative optical design: with 11 lenses in 7 groups, it also provides excellent imaging at close range together with a lens made of high-refractive ED glass. The close-up limit is deliberately kept very low at 80cm - the focus on detail is made easy with this lens. Mechanically it is held in such a way that the tube does not rotate during focusing (facilitates the use of 77mm filters, such as gradient or polarizing filters) and the overall length does not change, regardless of whether you are working at infinity or at 80cm focusing distance. This is achieved by a second inner tube that moves inside the outer housing to focus. Another advantage: the centre of gravity remains almost unchanged during focusing. The fine focus distribution is achieved by an almost circular aperture with 9 blades. All glass surfaces are of course coated with Samyang's own ultra multi-coating UMC. Gear rings on the aperture ring and focus ring are ready for Follow Focus systems.

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.

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 "T-Stop" is selected the same for both, it is guaranteed that two shots filmed with different lenses of the same scene are equally bright. Thus, there are no jumps in brightness when they are edited together.
