Overview
The Samyang AF 24-60mm F2.8 Sony FE is a compact standard zoom for Sony full-frame E-mount that balances portability (494 g) with a constant F2.8 aperture. It delivers high resolution, controlled aberrations, and reliable autofocus for both stills and video.
Performance & Image Quality
Optical Formula
A 14-element, 11-group design integrates Aspherical (ASP), High Refractive (HR), and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements, finished with UMC coating for clarity and minimized distortion.
Low-Light & Rendering
The constant F2.8 aperture maintains exposure and sharpness in dim conditions, while a 9-blade circular diaphragm produces soft, rounded highlights and smooth bokeh.
Autofocus & Video
A Linear STM provides fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus with confident subject tracking for stills and seamless, noise-free focus transitions for video.
Close-Up Capability
Get close with a 0.18 m minimum focusing distance at 24 mm and 0.32 m at 60 mm. Magnification reaches 0.27× (wide) and 0.25× (tele) for detailed near-macro shots with attractive background blur.
Durability & Handling
Weather Protection
- Hydro Shield coating helps resist dust, moisture, and fingerprints.
- IP5-level dust-resistant design for stable outdoor performance.
