Samyang has announced a new 35mm lens for the Sony E-mount. This is the second generation of this popular fast lens. It is suitable for portrait and landscape photography, as well as video.

The Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE II is the second version of this lens. It offers razor-sharp images from corner to corner, and Samyang guarantees a crystal-clear image, even in challenging lighting conditions.

With an improved CCI (Color Contribution Index), this second generation of the 35mm lens produces even more true-to-life colours. The implementation of a stepping motor provides fast and quiet autofocus and autofocus tracking.

Unlike the first version, this lens has been optimised for videography. The autofocus is silent and free from vibrations. With an aperture of f/1.4, it is also suitable for use in low light.

The lens has a custom switch. The switch allows you to change how the focus ring works. You can programme it as desired using the optional Samyang lens station.

By default, you can choose between manual focus and aperture. More functions will become available through firmware updates.

The lens will be available from mid-April at a price of 699.99 euros.
