Samyang 135mm T2.2 Cine

The Samyang 135mm T2.2 VDSLR ED UMC is a bright telephoto cine lens built for full-frame sensors. It provides a shallow depth of field and high light transmission, marked in T-stops for consistent exposure across different lenses. Like other VDSLR models, it features de-clicked apertures and geared rings for integration into professional video rigs. It is well-regarded for its sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration even when used wide open. Check the long throw of the focus ring for any signs of 'stiction' or play, as precise focus pulls are critical at 135mm. We inspect the aperture blades for oil and ensure the geared teeth are not chipped or excessively worn. Given its size and weight, check the mount for any signs of strain. The internal optics should be clear of fungus or significant dust ingress.
