    Overview

    The Samyang 35mm T/1.5 VDSLR AS UMC II is a budget cine lens with the same optics as the DSLR version, offering a de-clicked aperture and 0.8 mod pitch gears for follow-focus use. Optically, it is soft and smeary at T1.5, improving by T2 and sharp at T2.8. Build quality includes a metal mount but significant plastic. It suits budget-conscious filmmakers seeking cine features without high cost.
