Samyang Cine DS SYDS50M-N 50mm T1.5 AS IF UMC Full Frame Cine Lens for Nikon (Black)

worth every little bit i paid for it (~38,000 Indian Rupees)Like any lens, it works best when you stop down the aperture a little bit, since when you shoot at T1.5 you can see some purple fringing around bright reflections in particularAnd also, as with all Cine lenses, you end up with a completely manual lens, with no stabilization or autofocusthe focus ring in particular will definitely seem tight the first few times you use it, but fortunately it loosens up nicely after a little time spent using it.Both the focus and the aperture rings (especially the latter) feel very smooth and satisfying to use, and the build quality on the lens as a whole is great. The follow focus gear rings are solid and dependable, and this lens excels with the use of effective focus pulling. Color fringing at T1.5 aside, the image quality on this thing is absolutely stunning, and it works wonders with the sensor on my sony a6300. If you have a sony E mount camera, you may need to tweak your shortcuts around just a bit to speed up your workflow. All that said, this may not be a ziess cine prime or a cooke optics monster, but for the price that it's offered for this thing is a god damn beast. Use tripods, sliders and stabilizers though, because you are trading in lens stabilization for image quality here.

I have all rokinon lenses, but noticed this samyang was on sale for several hundred dollars cheaper. I'd heard that they were same lenses rebranded for different markets, but was still a little skeptical given the price difference. But I can now confirm that they are identical. This lens fits perfectly with my other Rokinons. Great quality.

Un muy buen lente en relacion precio calidad totalmente recomendable...

the focus ring turns opposite direction compared to all other cine lenses? Even the opposite as the Samyang 50mm T1.5 lenses I used before??? Makes following focus very difficult, and I am not sure why and how this happens??? It's even the opposite as the picture on the box??? The optic is nice, but nothing matters if you cannot focus...

Great quality in such a great price.Love it.And as far as I know, Samyang and Rokinon are the same brand.

Beautiful lens, got it on Warehouse deals, it blows me away for it's price point. It is large, and it does look professional, and fits nice on my a7s II
