The Samyang AF 35 150mm is a full frame lens for Sony E-mount cameras. This fast all-rounder covers the five main focal ranges from wide-angle to telephoto with a maximum aperture of F2 at the wide-angle end and F2.8 at the telephoto, so it's perfect for portraits, landscapes, travel and videography. It supports the key features of Sony mirrorless bodies, including Hybrid AF, Eye AF, Direct Manual Focus and the AF assist function.
Outstanding resolution from corner to corner
With the latest optical design using special lenses for 12 out of
the 21 total elements in 18 groups, this lens demonstrates excellent optical performance throughout the zoom ranges from wide angle
to telephoto. When combined with Sony’s full frame image sensor, the lens delivers superior sharp images from edge to edge. In addition, UMC (Ultra Multi Coating) technology is applied to
minimize flare and ghosting, helping to produce natural and clear images.
Fast and accurate AF performance
The STM (Linear Stepping Motor), which provides high responsiveness and accuracy when shooting photos and videos, is excellent for tracking fast moving subjects. The system is compatible with Sony's Fast Hybrid AF, and Eye A F features and allows in camera lens correction for shading, chromatic aberration, and distortion.
Impressive bokeh
A large aperture starting from F2 presents background blur to the image's out of focus areas. The lens effectively separates the subject from the background, using a shallow depth of field to capture a unique image in which the background is compressed. The clear and natural bokeh created by the 9 diaphragm blades makes it possible to capture beautiful night time city scapes.
Minimum focal distance of 33cm
The AF 35-150mm F2 2.8 FE offers excellent close up performance for an all rounder zoom. With a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.33 m at 35mm and 0.85 m at 150mm , you can easily get close ups with sharp details. Combined with the fast aperture of the lens, the background is beautifully blurred when close to the subject.
Custom switch & button
Custom switches and buttons on the lens's side allow the user
to control the lens completely. Users can change their preferred functions via three custom switches. If you set the custom switch to MODE 2, the focusing ring operates the aperture adjustment in AF position and Linear MF in the MF position. The unique video function “Dolly Shot” can be found in MODE 3. In addition, there are two focus save button s in the MF position allow ing users to naturally change focus between two subjects.
Optimised features for video shooting
- Dolly Shot: A professional dolly can be expensive and challenging to operate, but this lens allows you to easily recreate the effects of using one by rotating the zoom ring whil st tracking the subject.
- Linear MF: In Linear MF mode, focus movemen t is constant regardless of the speed at which the focus ring is turned through its 300º rotation. When using a follow focus, this allows a more precise control.
- Digital Par-Focal: After focusing on the subject in MF mode, the focus doesn’t require adjusting again, even when zoom ed in or out. This allows filmmakers to reduce shooting time and allow accurate and stable shooting.
Weather sealed design
This lens is designed to be completely weather
sealed at the mount and throughout the body. Weather sealing is adopted in 12 areas to prevent damage or contamination from dust, light rain, and snow.
