This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

Samyang announces the AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE. This professional zoom lens is specially designed for Full-Frame and APS-C cameras with the Sony E-mount. Samyang calls it the most versatile and universal lens ever. Several functions have been optimised and added to the AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE specifically for video recording.

Par-Focal keeps the subject in focus while zooming in and out. Cinematic Video AF ensures a gradual change in focus, so it does not happen too abruptly. Linear MF Focus Control provides better control when focusing manually.

Finally, there is the Cine Kit, a separate accessory set with focus gear, follow focus and a tripod mount. Samyang will announce more information about the Cine Kit at a later date.

The Samyang AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE has an aperture made up of 9 blades. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 and the ASP and ED lens elements provide soft and natural-looking bokeh.

The lens uses a silent Linear STM (Stepping Motor). This allows you to focus quickly and accurately. The quiet AF system is particularly important for videographers.

The Samyang AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE has a custom switch that allows the focus ring to be switched to an aperture ring. If you have a Samyang Lens Station, you can set the function of the custom switch to suit your preferences.

The lens will be available from the end of October for 899.99 euros. For now, it is only available for the Sony E-mount.
