Key Features of the Samyang Remaster Slim Series

• Ultra-Compact Design: The Remaster Slim is engineered for on-the-go creators who need lightweight gear without sacrificing performance. At only 66.5g for the module and the lens, it’s nearly half the weight of a standard lens*, whilst also being incredibly thin at just 19.5mm.
• Premium Optics: Samyang’s renowned precision engineering ensures sharpness, clarity, and colour accuracy in every shot. Despite its small size, a Stepping Motor provides responsive and efficient autofocus. Filtration can be used with this system, with a 49mm front filter usable with all lenses in the set.
• Versatility: The Remaster Slim is ideal for a variety of applications, from landscape to street photography. A 23mm F3.5, 28mm F3.5, and 32mm F2.8 are included within the set, along with a hardcase to house it all. Remaster Slim is designed for both full frame and APS-C sensor Sony camera systems.
• Convenient Features: The AF/MF switch on the module allows you to quickly toggle between focus modes, there’s also a focusing ring for precise MF accuracy. Additionally, the USB-C port directly on the module offers an easy means to apply firmware updates without any additional accessories.

Kriss Hampton-Joyce, Head of Technology, Holdan, commented:
The Remaster Slim is a completely fresh take on a lens system that’s designed to be as travel friendly and flexible as possible. With increasing popularity of point-and-shoot camera systems, the Remaster Slim looks to bring the essence of those systems to larger sensor, interchangeable lens cameras. With Remaster Slim, it’s now feasible to shoot on a full frame system that will fit in your pocket and have two other lenses in another, so you can still adapt to situations on the fly. For travel photographers and filmmakers this is game changing.

Availability

The Samyang Remaster Slim series will be available in major camera retailers across the UK and Ireland from early October.
Customers can also pre-order from Holdan’s extensive network of authorised resellers.
