The SAMYANG T1.5 35mm AS UMC, T1.5 24mm ED AS IF UMC, and T3.1 14mm ED AS IF UMC lenses are all designed to work for follow focus, thanks to racks around both the focus and aperture rings that allow control from video rigs. The lenses also have aperture (in T-stops) and focus scales marked appropriately to be read from the site of the camera.

In other respects, the lenses are much the same as their existing still imaging-friendly versions.

More details in the press release below.
