Description — Samyang 10mm T3.1
The Samyang 10mm T3.1 Cine Lens is an ultra wide-angle prime built specifically for video shooters working with APS-C format cameras. Its 10mm fixed focal length provides sweeping wide-angle coverage, while the T3.1 maximum aperture is calibrated using the T-stop system — the standard for cinema and video production — ensuring consistent, accurate exposure across lenses on set. The lens is strictly manual focus, aligning with professional video workflows that rely on follow focus systems or motorized lens controls rather than autofocus.
With no image stabilization, it is best paired with a gimbal, stabilizer rig, or a camera body with in-sensor stabilization. Mount options span Canon EF, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, and Nikon F, giving the lens broad compatibility across major camera platforms. At 615g, it carries the solid weight expected of a cine-grade wide prime.
The APS-C lens format designation means it is optimized for crop-sensor bodies, delivering its full wide-angle performance on that sensor class.
