A New Era for Samyang: The First Zoom Lens

The AF 24–70mm F2.8 FE marks a new milestone for Samyang, combining years of prime lens expertise into a versatile standard zoom that’s equally at home in the studio, on location, or on set. With a wide-angle to short telephoto range, it’s ideal for landscapes, portraits, events, and video productions — offering professional image quality and flexibility in a single compact body.

Exceptional Optical Design for Professional Results

Engineered with 17 elements in 14 groups, including:

• 2 Aspherical and 1 Hybrid-Aspherical elements for reduced distortion

• 3 High Refractive Index elements for enhanced sharpness

• 3 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements to minimise chromatic aberration

Each element features Samyang’s Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) technology, effectively reducing flare and ghosting for superior contrast and clarity. The result: pin-sharp images with excellent colour accuracy and detail across the entire frame — even when shooting wide open at F2.8.

Bright Constant F2.8 Aperture

With a large, constant F2.8 aperture, this lens delivers beautiful subject separation, excellent low-light performance, and smooth, natural background blur.
The 9-blade diaphragm produces pleasing circular bokeh, perfect for creative portraits and cinematic video work. Whether you’re shooting wide landscapes at 24mm or close-ups at 70mm, the F2.8 aperture ensures consistent exposure and aesthetic quality.

Fast, Silent & Precise Autofocus

Powered by Samyang’s Linear STM (Stepping Motor), autofocus performance is both quick and whisper-quiet. This ensures smooth, reliable focus transitions — crucial for video creators and hybrid shooters.
The motor precisely controls the heavier focusing elements typical in zoom lenses, providing confident tracking of moving subjects and seamless operation during both stills and video capture.

Close Focusing Distance of 35cm

With a minimum focus distance of just 0.35m, you can explore creative perspectives and capture detail-rich close-ups. Whether photographing food, interiors, or macro-style portraits, the lens allows you to get close while maintaining sharpness and depth.

Built for the Elements

Constructed with durability in mind, the AF 24–70mm F2.8 FE includes weather-sealing to protect against dust, light rain, and snow. The micro-patterned rubber focus ring offers enhanced grip and tactile control, ensuring comfortable and reliable handling in any environment.

Enhanced Control with Custom Mode Switch

The Custom Mode Switch brings personalisation to the forefront. Assign functions like Aperture Control Mode or Manual Focus Mode, and tailor the lens behaviour to your preferred workflow.
With the Samyang Lens Station (available separately), you can customise and update settings via firmware, keeping your lens performance up to date with the latest features.

Optimised for Video Production 🎥

Unlike conventional photo zooms, the AF 24–70mm F2.8 FE includes advanced video-oriented technology:

• Par-Focal Design – Maintains focus while zooming in or out, a hallmark of high-end cine lenses.

• Cinematic Video AF – Smooth, stable focus transitions with reduced hunting and wobble.

• Linear MF Focus Control – Delivers consistent torque and resistance similar to manual focus cine lenses, ideal for controlled focus pulls.

Optional Cine Kit

A dedicated Samyang Cine Kit (available separately) includes focus gears, follow focus, and a tripod mount — allowing seamless integration into professional video rigs.
