Samyang officially announced their new 50mm F/1.4 photo and T/1.5 cinema lenses about a week ago. Today, we came across this beautiful sample footage captured when pairing the new 50mm T/1.5 cinema lens with a Canon 5D Mark III.

The footage was captured and put together by Samyang Europe, so we will have to stay tuned for videos/reviews put together by third parties before we can really say how good this lens is. But from the footage above, the look of this lens paired with a full frame sensor is bordering on magical in some of those shots.
