Built for use on cameras with an APS-C-sized imaging sensor, there is a 21mm f/1.4 and 50mm f/1.2 – both manual-focus lenses – plus two cine lenses: a 21mm T1.5 and 50mm T1.3. The cine lenses appear to be aimed at users of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4.
The eight-elements-in-seven-groups 21mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC CS (priced £279.99) includes an extra-low dispersion lens and three aspherical lenses.
The 50mm f/1.2 AS UMC CS (£309.99), billed as an ideal portrait lens, is built from nine elements in seven groups, with two aspherical lenses.
Both the 21mm and 50mm feature Ultra Multi Coating to optimise light penetration and minimise flare and ghosting.
The 21mm T1.5 (£309.99) and 50mm T1.3 (£339.99) boast quiet and smooth de-clicked focus and aperture gear rings.
The distance scale and T-numbers on the cine lenses are marked on both sides for convenience when filming, according to Samyang.
The four new lenses will be available in the following mounts: Sony E, MFT, Fujifilm X and Canon M.
Samyang now has 13 photo and cine lenses in its line-up.
