Samyang VDSLR 24mm T1.5 MK2

The Samyang VDSLR 24mm T1.5 MK2 is a fast, wide-angle manual cinema lens featuring a weather-sealed construction and a nine-blade aperture for smooth highlights. It covers full-frame sensors and provides geared rings for focus and iris, compatible with standard 0.8 MOD follow-focus units. The MK2 version is distinguished by its compact size and the addition of focal length scales on both sides of the barrel, making it more versatile for professional film sets and varied shooting environments. When assessing a used MK2 unit, ensure the de-clicked aperture ring moves smoothly without any internal resistance. The focus throw is 139 degrees; this rotation should be consistent from infinity to the minimum focus distance. SDS checks for mechanical play in the lens barrel and inspects the glass for internal contaminants. The weather-sealing gasket at the mount should be intact. Check the geared rings for any signs of heavy wear or impact that might cause a follow-focus to jump.
