Samyang extend their Zoom range

By Marcus Swales | Technical Product Specialist, Holdan

It's official! We have a new Samyang zoom lens release. Say goodbye to swapping lenses and compromising on image quality. The all-new Samyang Auto Focus 35-150mm F2-2.8 is designed for Sony Full-frame mirrorless users and is a true lens all-in-one lens for photographers. If you demand versatility, speed, and high-quality results this fast all-rounder zoom ticks all those boxes whilst covering the five-main focal ranges. With a maximum aperture of F2 at the wide-angle end and F2.8 at the telephoto end, this lens enables you to achieve beautiful, soft bokeh across the entire zoom range.

This is Samyang's second zoom lens and with a range of 35mm to 150mm, you can easily capture everything from sweeping landscapes to up-close portraits without compromising on image quality, making it the perfect travel lens. Speaking of image quality, the new Samyang 35-150mm F2-2.8 lens doesn't disappoint. It boasts outstanding image quality thanks to its advanced optical design and UMC coating, which reduces flaring, ghosting, and controls light reflection within the lens. In addition to its image quality and versatility, the new lens is also fast and accurate when it comes to autofocus. It features a linear STM focus motor that delivers smooth and silent autofocus performance, making it ideal for shooting video as well as stills. And with AF/MF switch, you can easily fine-tune your focus for those shots and video that need it.

As you may know the beauty of a telephoto lens with a wide aperture is the collaboration of compression and shallow depth of field to make a stunningly soft background whilst keeping the subject in sharp focus. See sample images below that illustrate the dreamy bokeh look from the 9 aperture blades featured in this lens.

Like all modern Samyang Auto Focus lenses, the new 35-150mm features the custom switch and focus hold button, allowing you to quickly and easily access your preferred settings without having to go through a menu system. The lens has an 82mm filter thread and weighs in at 1224g, without a lens cap and hood on. The premium Samyang lens design has also continued with the 'hidden red ring' detailing and black finish that is now becoming familiar with this lens.

This exciting new offering from Samyang would suit a wide range of photographers with its versatile zoom, from event and wedding photographers to portrait and food photographers. 

Overall, the Samyang Auto Focus 35mm-150mm F2-2.8 lens is a versatile and high-quality lens that is sure to impress both amateur and professional photographers alike. With its reasonable price point, outstanding image quality, fast and accurate autofocus, and advanced features like weather sealing and a custom switch, it's a lens that you can rely on.
