Samyang VDSLR 135mm T2.2 MK2 for Sony E Summary
Features at a glance
Weather Sealing
The new VDSLR MK2 series includes a weather-sealing feature to protect the most vulnerable gap between the lens and camera mount and prevent dust, light rain and snow from penetrating. It provides the ability to capture stunning images in less than perfect conditions
9 Aperture Blades for exceptional Bokeh and Starburst effects
This series is updated with 9 aperture blades across all 6 focal lengths, to provide unified smooth and circular bokeh. It adds a three-dimensional quality and pleasing effect to out-of-focus backgrounds. 18-ray starburst highlights can also be created by stopping down to small apertures.
Updated design with Side Scales
The Samyang VDSLR MK2 models have a sleek new design: Black and matte finish boosts usability and professionalism on the set. They are lightweight but sturdy and fully equipped for numerous projects. The distance scales are readable from both sides, as are the focal lengths. These features support focus pullers and assistant cinematographers to operate more intuitively.

Expansion of Compact Cine Lens Set with 6 Most Used Focal Lengths
Inheriting the renowned image quality of the original Samyang VDSLR series, the updated MK2 series is developed to be the foundational cine lens set for filmmakers. Samyang pioneered the entry-point cine lens line-up by launching its VDSLR range back in 2014 and it has been a staple set for independent filmmakers and low-budget project directors to broaden their horizons of creativity. During those 6 years, Samyang has worked in partnership with the market and introduced the updated VDSLR MK2 series, with useful new features.
Compact Professional Cine Lens Covering Full Frame Sensor Size
The compact size of Samyang's VDSLR lenses makes them perfect for hand-holding and gimbal shooting. The new VDSLR 135mm T2.2 MK2 is only 12.2cm in length and weighs just 866.4g. In contrast to their compact size, the VDSLR MK2 lenses cover full frame sensors (36x24mm) and are ready for the high-quality video making environment.
Most Popular Focal Lengths - Available in 6 Different Mounts
The VDSLR MK2 range now has 6 focal lengths: 14mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm. These are the essential and most popular focal lengths for any creative or commercial projects. All 6 lenses are available and fully compatible with 6 different mounts: Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F, Canon M, Fuji X and MFT. They are suitable for both DSLR and mirrorless systems and ready to support all types of filmmakers around the globe.
Long Focus Throw and De-Clicked Aperture Ring
Even though the VDSLR MK2 series is compact in size, it is fully-featured, with declicked aperture and focus gear rings. The long focus throw of 190° enables cinematographers to focus precisely on their subjects, creating a more professional feel to video footage than with autofocus photo lenses.
Fast Aperture for Low-Light Situations
For independent filmmakers, a versatile lens saves time and budget. The Samyang VDSLR MK2 series has fast T1.5 apertures across 24mm, 35mm, 50mm to 85mm, T3.1 for 14mm and T2.2 for the new 135mm. This benefits filmmakers and allows them to concentrate more on the scene and creativity, without having to concern themselves about image quality, even in low-light situations. Also, the shallow depth of field available blurs out the background and highlights the subject, adding depth to the story.

Our Verdict
The Samyang VDSLR MK2 series delivers cinematic quality, with fast apertures across all 6 models. This supports filmmakers and allows them to deliver high quality results, even in low-light situations. Also, the ability to control shallow depth of field can be used to blur out the background and highlight the subject, adding depth to the story. The full series of VDSLR MK2 lenses covers full frame sensors (36x24mm).
An essential partner for independent filmmakers and creators, thanks to affordability and usability. Samyang’s VDSLR MK2 series is specifically designed for small-crew teams and YouTubers with needs for cinematic video quality. The size is ideal for use in various configurations, including gimbals, drones, car-mounts and handheld.
Aspiring students, wishing to become world-class filmmakers are also a main target for Samyang’s VDSLR MK2 series. Thanks to the accessible price point, essential focal lengths and mounts, plus cinematic lens features (including declicked aperture and unified gear ring positions), this series is a perfect study tool for cinematography and film-making students.
