Optical design and image quality

The optics for the Samyang AF 24-60mm F/2.8 have been developed in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach, ensuring high optical performance. The combination of high-index (HR), extra-low dispersion (ED), and aspherical elements, along with Samyang's UMC coating, helps to minimize aberrations and preserves contrast and color intensity throughout the image. The 9-blade aperture provides beautiful, round bokeh that contributes to a smooth background blur, perfect for highlighting the subject in your photos.

Autofocus and video-friendly features

This lens is equipped with a linear STM drive for autofocus, providing fast and quiet focusing, ideal for both still images and video recordings. An AF/MF switch makes it easy to switch between autofocus and manual focus, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune focus when needed, which is especially useful in creative situations.

Close-up performance

Samyang AF 24-60mm F/2.8 also performs excellently in close-up photography. At 24 mm, you can focus as close as 0.18 m, providing a magnification of approximately 0.27×. At 60 mm, the close focus limit extends to 0.32 m, with a magnification of approximately 0.25×. This allows you to capture detailed images of small subjects without needing to change lenses.
