SAMYANG ANNOUNCES 24-70MM F/2.8 FOR SONY E MOUNT

Lens maker celebrates 50th birthday with its first zoom optic

- 

Samyang is celebrating its 50th year as a lens manufacturer and, to mark the occasion,it has just released its first-ever zoom lens – the AF 24-70 f/2.8 for Sony full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras. Until 2016, Samyang only manufactured manual focus prime lenses, so this new venture into the world of zoom lenses takes Samyang one step closer to reaching the mass market.

The manufacturer has spent five years developing the AF 24-70mm f/2.8, which could be used on cameras such as the Sony A7 III, A6400 or new A1. As well as being an excellent lens for stills photography, it’s also fully optimised for shooting video.
