Thanks to our very good friends at Shoot Blue, the London, UK based equipment rental & crewing service, Cinescopophilia has been given access to an exclusive look at a set of Samyang uncoated lenses.

Samyang Uncoated Lens Set

“The main reason behind having the anti-reflective lens coatings removed from the Samyang DSLR lens was to produce a more unique visual look when using modern & affordable DSLR lenses. It’s something of an experiment – this has not been done before with these type of lenses, and the initial lens test results look extremely good. They are going to be popular for productions such as music videos, production and television promos, plus fashion shoots where the cinematographer wants to create a vintage, lens-flare aesthetic. Jon Howarth Director at Shoot Blue”
