Samyang AF 35-150mm F2-2.8 Sony FE - 8017

The Samyang AF 35–150mm F2–2.8 is a fast, all-round zoom lens designed for versatility and performance. With a bright F2 aperture at 35mm and F2.8 at 150mm, it covers five key focal lengths—35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, and 150mm—making it ideal for portraits, events, travel, and commercial shoots. Incorporating Samyang’s 2nd Generation premium design, the lens fully supports Sony mirrorless features including Hybrid AF, Eye AF, Direct Manual Focus (DMF), and AF Assist for seamless operation.

Offering a wide zoom range in a single compact lens, it eliminates the need to switch lenses frequently, enhancing convenience for photographers who want flexibility without compromising image quality. Optimized for portraiture, it also performs exceptionally well for everyday and professional content creation.

The lens construction features 21 elements in 18 groups, including 2 ASP, 1 HB, 3 HR, and 6 ED elements, ensuring outstanding optical performance, sharpness, and contrast from edge to edge. The Linear Stepping Motor (STM) provides fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus, perfect for both stills and video, while maintaining accurate focus tracking from close-up to infinity. Its bright aperture also enables creative depth of field, higher shutter speeds, and cleaner low-light shots.

With an F2–F2.8 aperture and 9 diaphragm blades, the lens produces a smooth, creamy bokeh that beautifully separates the subject from the background. The elegant 2nd Generation design introduces Samyang’s hidden red ring, improved tactile feedback for focus and zoom rings, and a lock switch to secure the lens at 35mm during transport.

Advanced functionality includes two soft focus buttons that can store focus points and three customizable mode switches programmable via the Samyang Lens Station, offering added creative control for different shooting styles.

For video creators, the lens supports Dolly Zoom effects, cinematic autofocus with smooth transitions, linear manual focus control, and digital par-focal technology that maintains focus while zooming—features typically found in high-end cine lenses.

Built for durability, the lens features weather sealing at 11 key points, protecting it from dust, light rain, and snow for reliable outdoor performance. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.33m at 35mm and 0.85m at 150mm, it excels at close-up photography, capturing striking portraits, product shots, and food imagery with pleasing background blur.
