Detail, landscape and portrait
The Samyang 135/2.2 Lens captures details without bringing the typical telephoto effect into the picture. Its freedom of distortion and aperture make it more than superior to the standard Lens of a digital camera. It can be handled freehand and even snapshots are no problem with this focal length. Users of an APS-C camera will be delighted: they finally have a medium-length landscape lens with the image impression of a 200mm 35mm lens, and with a fabulous aperture that allows them to work safely and take unprecedented shots.
Outstanding speed
The relative aperture (speed) of a 135mm is usually set at T/2.8 or T/3.5. Especially with this medium-length landscape and portrait focal length, a larger aperture was very often missed - or is simply almost impossible to finance. The Samyang 135mm with an initial aperture of T/2.0 is 100% faster than the competition on the market. This not only enables hand-held shots to be taken in critical lighting conditions, but above all provides creative highlights by allowing the subject to be virtually cropped: the depth of field is half that of a 135mm with T/2.8 aperture. At the same time, the viewfinder is twice as bright, which helps enormously with image assessment.
High-quality optics
The Lens has a very innovative optical design: with 11 lenses in 7 groups, together with a lens made of high-refractive ED glass, it ensures excellent imaging even at close range. The close-up limit of 80cm is deliberately kept very low - concentrating on detail is easy with this Lens. Mechanically, it is designed so that the tube does not rotate when focusing (facilitates the use of 77mm filters, such as graduated 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, which is moved within the outer mount for focusing. Another advantage: the center of gravity remains virtually unchanged when focusing. The fine focus distribution is achieved by an almost circular aperture with 9 blades. All glass air surfaces are of course coated with Samyang's own UMC ultra multi-coating. Gear rims on the aperture and focus rings are ready for follow focus systems.
Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor (or smaller)
Save time in post-processing: A large number of lens errors such as distortion, edge blur or vignetting occur on the outer areas of the image. If you use a Lens calculated for full format on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not used at all. This ensures maximum quality. Additional post-processing time to correct lens errors is therefore not required.
Why the aperture is sometimes given in T
In photography, the abbreviation "f" is used for aperture (from "focal length"). The specified value indicates the ratio between the focal length and the entrance pupil on the Lens. In the film and video sector, on the other hand, the abbreviation "T" is used, which stands for "transmission". This value is calculated from the aperture f and the light loss in the respective 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 subject will be equally bright. This means that there are no jumps in brightness when they are combined in the edit.
