DJI’s Mavic Mini made big news when it was announced in October, especially given that it was something so small. But being small and lightweight is exactly the point of the Mavic mini, weighing in at a mere 249g – 1g below the minimum limit required by many of the world’s governments before the operator requires licensing and regulation.

Samyang has announced an update to its compact cine lens range with the new VDSLR Mk2 series cine lenses.

Although Samyang have been making manual focus F Mount lenses for a while now, their autofocus efforts seem to have been elsewhere. And while Sony and Canon might have drawn all of Samyang’s attention in the past, it looks like that’s changing. Today, Samyang has announced the new Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 F for Nikon F Mount.
