Samyang announce its first lens for L-mount

Samyang strengthens the L-mount lens system with a new fast all-round zoom lens. The new AF 35-150mm F2-2.8 L - is a fast all-round zoom lens that many L-mount camera users have been waiting for.

Just like the previous Sony version the the new lens features a maximum aperture of F2 at the wide end and F2.8 at the telephoto end, covering the five most popular focal lengths: 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, and 150mm.

The lens offers excellent close-up performance for an all-rounder zoom. With a MOD of 0.32m at 35mm and 0.85m at 150mm, you can easily get close-ups with sharp details. Combined with the fast aperture of the lens, it’s easy to get super sharp close-up pictures with a beautifully blurred background, making the lens even more versatile.

Lens construction includes 21 elements in 18 groups, with 2 ASP ,1 H-ASP ,3 HR and 6 ED elements delivering superior optical performance throughout the entire zoom range. Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) is also applied to the lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting, ensuring natural and clear images. The large aperture effectively separates the subject from the background, and the 9-blade aperture creates a smooth mesmerizing bokeh.

The lens features Samyang's popular STM (Linear Stepping Motor) that is fast and responsive, suitable for both photography and videography. It provides excellent focus tracking and smooth transitions, with AF speed optimized for video. The digital parfocal function, specialized for video, maintains focus while zooming, enhancing efficiency and accuracy during filming. Additionally, Samyang has minimized focus breathing.

The lens has a robust construction with a lens barrel all made of metal and features a fully weather-sealed design to protect against dust, light rain, and snow.

Customizable controls and buttons on the lens allow users to manage various functions, such as preset focus, dolly shots, and aperture settings.

In conjunction with the introduction of the new lens, LK Samyang announces that it is expanding its range of lenses for Leica, Panasonic, Sigma, Blackmagic Design and DJI L-mount users.
