Samyang Launches Lightweight 14-24/2.8 FE Zoom
Samyang AF 14-24mm F2.8 Sony FESamyang introduces a new ultra-wide-angle zoom for Sony E-mount: the Samyang AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE. Weighing just 445 grams, it is significantly lighter than any other 14-24 mm full-frame wide-angle zoom lens on the market, making it an ideal choice for photographers seeking portability without compromising performance.
The lens is the result of a joint development between German optics specialist Schneider-Kreuznach and Samyang. Despite its compact size, measuring only 88.8 mm in length, it houses a sophisticated optical design with 15 elements in 11 groups. This includes 3 aspherical, 5 high-refractive, and 3 extra-low dispersion elements, all working together to deliver edge-to-edge sharpness with minimal chromatic aberration and distortion. The effective correction of sagittal coma and other optical flaws makes this lens particularly well-suited for nightscapes and astrophotography. Its constant f/2.8 aperture ensures excellent low-light performance across the zoom range.
Unlike many ultra-wide zooms, the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE allows for the use of standard 77mm filters, giving users the creative flexibility to attach polarizers and ND filters with ease.
With a consistent minimum focusing distance of just 0.18 meters throughout the entire zoom range, the lens enables up to 0.26x magnification—ideal for impactful close-up shots. Its robust construction features weather-sealing for reliable protection against water droplets, light rain, snow, and dust, making it a dependable companion in challenging environments. A customizable button on the lens barrel gives users quick access to programmable functions such as preset focus. In addition, a built-in USB port allows for direct firmware updates, ensuring the lens remains up to date with the latest enhancements and features.
