The Samyang V-AF Full KIT includes the entire V-AF lens series plus the V-AF Anamorphic adapter, the V-AF Manual adapter and a Lens Station delivered in a protective hardcase. The V-AF line was designed specifically for video creators and emphasizes consistent handling and useful cinema-style controls across the whole set.
All V-AF lenses use a unified form factor and share similar weight and dimensions. Therefore, you can swap lenses without repeating time-consuming rebalancing when working with gimbals or drones. This consistent design reduces setup interruptions and helps maintain your production flow.
Additionally, each lens features gear cogs for follow focus and a tally lamp. These features support standard video accessories and make operation more straightforward on set.
Each V-AF lens uses a dynamic lens construction that produces a crisp cinematic look. The lenses include a 9-bladed aperture that creates smooth, creamy bokeh to help separate subjects from backgrounds and add depth to your images.
The V-AF Anamorphic adapter produces widescreen images with characteristic horizontal flares and distinctive anamorphic bokeh. It uses a 1.7x squeeze ratio and introduces a yellow-amber hue in its anamorphic flares, together with a barrel-type distortion that contributes to a classic anamorphic appearance.
The adapter has an aperture of T1.9, making it the brightest anamorphic accessory in the V-AF range and a tool for filmmakers seeking an anamorphic look when paired with V-AF lenses.
The V-AF Manual adapter converts a V-AF lens to a manual-style cinema workflow. It mounts to the front of any V-AF lens using a front bayonet and provides a focus ring with an industry-standard 0.8 mod for easy integration with follow focus systems.
It offers a dual distance scale in feet and meters and allows fine focus adjustments with a smooth 300° rotation. When attached, the MF ring on the lens side becomes an aperture ring. A tally lamp on the front indicates recording or standby to subjects and operators, and the adapter’s 95mm front diameter makes it easy to attach a matte box.
The manual adapter brings features commonly found on heavier cinema lenses into a compact format. When combined with a V-AF Series lens, the total weight is only 430 g, compared to cinema lenses that usually weigh about twice as much.
The Samyang Lens Station lets you update firmware and customize features for Samyang AF lenses. By installing the latest firmware, you ensure the lens receives the best possible autofocus performance available from Samyang updates. The Lens Station also allows adjustment of how aperture and manual focus operate, giving you more control over lens behavior.
