Description — Samyang 100mm T2.3
The Samyang Cine AF 100mm T2.3 is a full-frame telephoto prime built for the Sony E-Mount ecosystem. Operating at a fixed 100mm focal length, it delivers a consistent telephoto perspective suited to portrait, documentary, and narrative filmmaking work. The T2.3 maximum aperture is expressed in the T-stop system, offering cinematographers a reliable light transmission value for cross-lens exposure consistency.
Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, giving operators the flexibility to switch modes depending on the scene. Weighing only 280g, this lens is among the lighter options in its class, making it a practical choice for gimbal operators and weight-conscious rig builds. The 82mm filter thread accommodates a wide range of cinema and photographic filters. Image stabilization is not included, so stabilization must come from the camera body or support equipment.
Classified as a cine-type prime, this lens is designed with video and cinema production workflows in mind.
