Samyang AF 14-24mm f/2.8 Overview
Pack Smaller, Carry Lighter, Capture More
The Samyang AF 14-24mm f/2.8 is a compact, lightweight super-wide-angle zoom lens co-developed by Samyang. Measuring just 88.8mm in length and weighing only 445g, it's built for mobility without compromising quality. Its size and weight make it an ideal companion for a wide range of photography genres—architecture, landscapes, nightscapes, and even astrophotography. What sets it apart is that it's the world’s first* ultra-wide zoom lens to support front filter attachment. This innovative feature enhances both practicality and usability in real-world shooting conditions.
A Wide-Angle Wonder
With a broad focal range, this lens offers incredible versatility. At 14mm, it delivers dramatic perspectives with a sweeping 114.2º angle of view. Zoom into 24mm, and you get a more intimate 84.1º view—perfect for varied subjects and scenes. Whether you’re capturing expansive cityscapes, intricate interiors, or expressive environmental portraits, this lens adapts to your vision with ease.
The 445g Revolution
Purpose-built for Sony full-frame E-mount cameras, the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE redefines what a full-frame zoom can be. Weighing just 445 grams, it’s lighter than any comparable lens on the market. This is a game-changer for photographers on the move—your gear stays light, and your creativity stays free.
Compatible with 77mm Front Filters
A rare feat in ultra-wide lenses, this model accommodates standard 77mm front filters. Landscape photographers can now easily use polarizers and ND filters to control reflections, light, and exposure—without needing bulky filter systems. It's a small detail with a big impact on your creative freedom.
Fast and Bright
Inside, the advanced optical design features 15 elements in 11 groups. The result? Exceptional sharpness, even at the maximum F2.8 aperture. From edge to edge, your shots will display impressive resolution. Activate 'Lens Compensation' on your Sony camera to correct for distortion and vignetting, further enhancing image clarity.
Crisp and Clear, Even in the Dark
Night photographers and astro-enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of three aspherical elements that suppress coma aberration. Even wide open at F2.8, stars appear crisp, clear, and beautifully round—perfect for capturing the night sky in all its glory.
Go Closer, Go Bolder
With a minimum focusing distance of 0.18m throughout the zoom range and up to 0.26x magnification, this lens allows for impactful close-up shots. The ultra-wide perspective amplifies scale, making foreground subjects pop against blurred backgrounds for added visual drama.
Fast, Quiet, and Accurate Autofocus
The built-in SAMYANG linear stepping motor ensures smooth, fast, and silent autofocus—ideal for both stills and video. Accurate tracking makes it easier to capture fleeting moments and moving subjects with razor-sharp precision.
Custom Button and Functional Design
User experience is key. The lens features smooth-operating focus and zoom rings and a convenient AF/MF switch on the barrel. A customizable button, preset to 'focus lock,' allows quick adjustments. Its function can be reassigned via your camera settings, giving you control exactly where you want it.
Firmware-Friendly and Weather-Resistant
Stay updated with a built-in USB port for direct firmware updates. Plus, the lens offers basic weather-sealing to guard against light rain, snow, and dust. While not fully weatherproof, it’s designed to hold up under typical outdoor conditions, giving you peace of mind on location.
Premium Packaging, Practical Appeal
The lens arrives in a sleek matte-black box that reflects its quality and design excellence. More than just attractive packaging, it delivers a premium unboxing experience that signals the performance within.
