Samyang introduces the Prima series with the new AF 35mm F1.4 P FE 

Samyang launches a new lightweight lens series for Sony mirrorless cameras, designed to deliver high-end performance and professional quality at an affordable price. First out in the series is the new AF 35mm F1.4 P FE.

The new lens is the perfect combination of portability and functionality, offering excellent image quality and practicality for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Weighing only 470 grams, the AF 35mm F1.4 P FE is the lightest 35mm F1.4 lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Its portability makes it an excellent companion for compact camera systems such as the Sony α7C II and ZV-E1, ensuring ease of use during travel and everyday photography. Despite its lightweight design, the lens delivers remarkable optical performance, maintaining high resolution even at its maximum aperture of F1.4. 

The lens incorporates an advanced optical design with 12 elements in 10 groups, including three aspherical, one high-refractive, and one extra-low dispersion element. These features ensure clarity, sharpness, and minimized distortion across the frame. Additionally, Samyang’s coating technology reduces flare and ghosting, maintaining superior image quality. 

For videographers, the lens offers excellent focus breathing suppression, allowing natural transitions during changes in focus. This feature, combined with its fast and accurate autofocus, enhances its versatility across still and motion applications. 

Durability and convenience are also key considerations in this new lens. The AF 35mm F1.4 P FE features weather sealing at five critical points, providing protection against dust, light rain, and other challenging conditions. A redesigned micro-pattern rubber focus ring and matte finish improve handling and aesthetics. The inclusion of a USB port enables easy firmware updates and customization, ensuring the lens remains compatible with the latest camera technologies.
