Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE Lens for Sony E

The Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE is an ultra-compact, pancake-style wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Weighing just 3.3 ounces, its lightweight and portable footprint makes it an ideal option for street, travel, and landscape photography. The optical design features seven elements in seven groups, including three aspherical elements and two high refractive index elements to control spherical aberrations and edge distortion. Enhanced with Samyang’s Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) to combat flare and ghosting, the lens utilizes an internal autofocus motor compatible with Sony’s fast hybrid AF systems, alongside manual focus override and an internal focusing design that keeps the lens length constant.
