The Samyang Optics 100mm T3.1 VDSLR ED UMC MACRO is a macro telephoto manual focus cine lens designed for full-frame sensor sizes. The maximum close-up magnification is 1:1. This macro lens with vivid color and soft out-of-focus rendering is the best choice for close-up images of flowers and insects. It can also be used as a 100mm telephoto lens for landscapes and portraits.
VDSLR Cine Lens Features
The Samyang 100mm T3.1 VDSLR ED UMC MACRO allows for more delicate video work with T-number markings. The focus gear ring is installed for follow focus systems. You can smoothly and silently adjust the aperture with the uncoupled aperture gear rings. Additionally, the distance scale and T numbers are marked on both sides of the lens for convenience.
Optical Features
The Samyang 100mm T3.1 features a low T number of T3.1, allowing for precise control when shooting in various lighting conditions, including relatively dark or overly bright environments.
This lens features 15 elements in 12 groups, including a high refractive (HR) lens and an extra-low dispersion (ED) lens, which minimize chromatic aberrations and unnecessary light dispersion to offer high resolution across the image. Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) from Samyang Optics optimizes light penetration and minimizes flare and ghosting. With this optical construction, it has a minimum focal distance of 0.307m, allowing you to film subjects at very close distances.
Hardware Features
The lens has 9 aperture blades designed to form almost a full circle when the aperture is closed, expressing star-like rays beautifully. The lens frame is compact and solid, made of high-strength aluminum alloy, ensuring reliable image creation. Additionally, the removable petal-shaped lens hood minimizes flare and ghosting by protecting the lens from unwanted light.
