Samyang AF 60-180mm F2.8 Sony FE

Samyang AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE – The compact telephoto zoom lens for professional photography and videography

With the AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE, Samyang is expanding its Compact Zoom series with a high-performance telephoto zoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras. Developed in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach, this lens combines high optical quality, professional-grade brightness, and exceptional portability in a compact body.

Weighing just 730 grams, the AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE sets new standards in its class. Compared to conventional 70-200mm F2.8 telephoto zoom lenses, it offers a significantly lighter and more compact alternative that is ideal for travel, photojournalism, events, and professional video production. Its well-balanced design ensures comfortable handling even during long shooting sessions.

The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 across the entire Zoomrange enables reliable performance in challenging lighting conditions and delivers a harmonious bokeh with pleasing background blur. From expressive portraits to dynamic sports and event shots, the lens offers versatile creative possibilities.

The sophisticated optical design, featuring 17 lens elements in 14 groups—including ED, ASP, and HR elements—was specifically developed to minimize aberrations and ensure high sharpness and excellent contrast all the way to the corners of the frame. A floating focus system helps

maintain

consistently high image quality across the entire focus range.

A modern linear STM autofocus motor ensures fast and precise focusing, allowing both photographers and videographers to benefit from quiet and reliable focusing. The lens’s features are rounded out by a weather-sealed construction, an AF/MF switch, and a Zoom lock switch that prevents the lens from extending unintentionally during transport.

As part of the Samyang Compact Zoom series, the AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE is the perfect complement to the 14-24mm F2.8 FE and 24-60mm F2.8 FE models. Together, they form an exceptionally lightweight F2.8 Zoom system that covers the focal length range from 14 mm to 180 mm almost seamlessly.
