SAMYANG 14mm T3.1

Samyang 14mm T3.1 VDSLR (often marketed as Rokinon in some regions) is a specialized ultra-wide-angle prime lens designed specifically for cinematography and video production. It is highly regarded for offering professional “cine” features—such as geared rings and a de-clicked aperture—at an accessible price point for independent filmmakers and students.

Key Features and Benefits
Ultra-Wide 115.7° Angle of View: Provides an expansive perspective ideal for landscapes, architecture, and tight interior shots on full-frame sensors.

Standardized Cine Gearing: Features industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears on both the focus and aperture rings, allowing for seamless integration with follow-focus systems.

De-clicked Aperture Ring: Enables smooth, silent iris pulls during recording without the jarring “clicks” found on stills lenses.

Dual-Sided Scales: Focus and T-stop markings are printed on both sides of the lens barrel, making it easier for focus pullers to operate from either side of the camera.

Optical Precision: Utilizes hybrid aspherical and extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberration and distortion.

UMC Multi-Coating: Reduces flare and ghosting while maintaining consistent color rendition across the Samyang VDSLR lens lineup.

Full-Frame Coverage: Compatible with full-frame sensors while remaining highly effective on APS-C (approx. 22mm equivalent) and Micro Four Thirds formats.
