Samyang Nikon F Mount T1.5 VDSLR AS UMC Lens Mount
Samyang 50 mm T1.5 AS UMC has been designed for cameras and camcorders fitted with photosensitive 24x36mm or smaller sensor. It gives 46.2 degrees field of view, and thanks to high brightness value of T1.5 (f/1.4) it comes as a great tool in poor lighting conditions, ensuring splendid image quality and small depth of field.Optics of the lens consists of nine lens elements arranged in six groups (including one aspherical and one hybrid aspherical lens element). To ensure high contrast and faithful color reproduction, all lens elements have been covered with multi-layered UMC anti-reflective coatings. Samyang 50mm T1.5 VDSLR ensures exceptionally smooth and aesthetic mapping for out of focus areas beyond the focal plain, producing the so called bokeh effect. Thanks to the eight-bladed aperture, the subjects located outside the depth of field are shown with extremely smooth features. This feature will be appreciated by professional filmmakers and photographers taking portrait photos.

I purchased these lenses for our school's GH4s, Canon t2is, and t3is, and bought this one for my Nikon 3100 and 5200. They are very professional quality, with smooth focus and aperture rings, good for run and gun shooting, and sharp optics. The cameras I have are beginner/ intermediate level, but these lenses greatly improve my video quality. I'd say the only negative, is that the sharpest aperture is at 5.6, and the highlights have a small amount of pink, as well as the lens flares. However, other cinema lenses are way beyond the price of these, and these may last you a long time, even if you go professional. Also they make my cameras look really cool.

This lens has been better than expected. I needed a cinema-style manual focus lens for video work on my Sony FS5 and this lens is ALWAYS on my camera. Here's my estimation of the good and not-so good of it: The GOOD LIST: First off, the optics on this are simply fantastic. Sharp all over even wide open (which is why www buy lenses like this). In technical areas, it beats almost all lenses except for the Zeiss/ Loxia, but only marginally. It has beautiful bokeh and a very close minimal focal distance. The focus gears are tactile and throw is smooth. I love that there is a significant amount of throw needed to change focal plane, but no so much so that you can't operate handheld. The Not-So-Good: This lens will require you to make some tough compositional choices due ... MoreThis lens has been better than expected.

The Not-So-Good: This lens will require you to make some tough compositional choices due to its close minimum focus distance. Bokeh is most pronounced when the subject is at the near end of your focal distance, so if you are buying this to get the big bulbous bokeh in shots, you will need to be close (within 5-7 feet) of your subject. The challenge here is that a 50mm on a Super 35 camera acts as a 75mm lens so you will be taking medium tight to tight shots to achieve the bokeh. If you want to keep your distance and get a 3/4 or wide shout of the subject with bokeh, you might want to look for a lens with a longer minimal focal distance. Overall, a gem of a lens.

This is a great lens! Tack sharp and makes great images. Cuts in perfectly with my other Samyang cine lens. Smooth focus and aperture rings. One of my favorite lens.

This is the first manual lens Iâ€ve bought since switching to digital and love not focusing by wire. I got the cine version for focus pulling but itâ€s also great for stills. Very nice to handle and fast to adjust. The continuously variable aperture is a hoot. Very sharp at f2.8 and not bad wide open. Thatâ€s compared to a few lenses I have that cost 3 times the price. It may not be as rugged because of the plastic construction but itâ€s very well made and light. I typically try not to drop my lenses anyway. Nice going Samyang !
I think this lens is great. I hope i can finally win something after reviewing products for over ten years now. Come on B&H!!!
Those cinema Samyang/Rokinon lenses are really cool to me. They are very well finished, robust and nice looking. The 1,5 max aperture gives you the nice looks and I thought when I first used it that the piqu is really amazing for a lens of that price (especially after putting down my 24-70 NIKON, meh :) ). It's nice to have a cool set of cine lenses for such a cheap budget :)
Construction feels solid, image is nice, and if with my crop sensor, the low light performance is great. My only complaint is that there is sometimes a vibrating feeling from the lens while racking focus. I would recommend this lens, and I plan to buy a few more Samyang primes in the future. Be aware that there is no autofocus! Not an issue for me though.
As every bit as versatile as you expect your 50mm to be. produces lovely images. the gearing is great for follow focus rigs. I cant say enough about the Samyang series of lenses. So much more than good for the price. you will not be unhappy with this lens.
Strong, cheap and good lens for filming or photografing. Im using it in a panasonic GH5 with a metabones adaptor. Loving it so far
smooth rings and creamy image. I'm using it for both stills on sony A7R and videos on samsung NX1. Just pay attention at chromatic aberrations when used wide open. Capture One doesn't have lens profiles for this 50mm, so you must take care of fringing by yourself.
