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.
Samyang 50mm Specs
- Aperture Range: T1.5 – T22
- One Aspherical, One Hybrid Asph. Element
- Manual Focus and Aperture
- Geared Focus and Aperture Control Rings
- De-Clicked Aperture Control Ring
- UMC Lens Multi-Coating
- Minimum Focus Distance of 1.5′
- Lateral Aperture and Distance Markin
The lens is currently available for pre-order in both the photo and cinema versions from B&H. They expect the lens to start shipping on September 5th (about 4 days from this post going up).

Going to go search for some stills- beautiful film quality! Would love to compare this to Sigma lens
Great one
Great video, lovely Bohken
I like it. Waiting to see some personal reviews.
Looks pretty good. :-) Should have shot it with a D810, A7s, or 5Diii in Raw… it’s already hard enough to tell sharpness because of the Vimeo compression. Native 5Diii footage is just mushy.
This looks like a pretty cool option for video. Hopefully the images look just as nice.
Nice footage! Can’t wait for the next announcment :)
The aperture range is T1.5 – T22. I like it. Are a great choice for all with a good price
Samyang are superb lenses and great for both video and stills. I have my 35mm and 85mm. Love them both. The 85mm is a bit much because you can’t get right up close to your subject. But make no mistake, its a wonderful bit of glass. You can’t go wrong with one.
Great sample video.
Looks great for video.
Wow, like a creamsicle. Love the bokeh. Would like to see some stills.
