Samyang AF 24-60mm f/2.8 FE
Samyang AF 24-60mm f/2.8 FE | Fast, bright zoom for everyday shooting
A broad landscape, a travel portrait and a closer detail can all fall within one outing; the Samyang AF 24-60mm f/2.8 FE is a standard zoom for Sony full-frame cameras, with a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout its range. Its 24-60mm coverage moves from a wide view for scenery and interiors to a natural perspective for portraits, without changing lenses. That combination makes it a useful central lens for travel, landscape work and people photography. The constant aperture is especially welcome when light drops: you can keep the same maximum opening as you zoom, rather than losing brightness at the long end. At 494g, it also keeps the overall kit comparatively light for a full-frame zoom with this aperture. The lens is aimed at Sony FE users who want one fast zoom for varied subjects, and its close-focusing ability adds another option when a small detail catches your eye. Samyang developed the optical design with Schneider-Kreuznach, and the lens uses multiple specialised elements to control aberrations. It brings together a compact working range and a bright constant aperture in a lens suited to both stills and video.
What the glass does
- Close focusing: At the wide end, it focuses as close as 18cm and reaches 0.27× magnification. At the long end, the closest distance is 32cm with 0.25× magnification, useful for filling the frame with details without swapping lenses.
- Optical construction: The 14 elements in 11 groups include three aspherical, three high-refractive and two extra-low-dispersion elements. Samyang’s UMC coating is used to help control reflections and preserve contrast and colour.
- Autofocus for stills and video: A linear STM motor drives autofocus quietly, while an AF/MF switch gives direct access to manual focus when you want to make a fine adjustment.
- Nine-blade aperture: The nine-blade diaphragm shapes out-of-focus highlights into a rounded appearance, a useful detail for portrait backgrounds and close-up subjects.
- Protection and finish: The aluminium barrel has dust and splash protection, plus a water- and oil-repellent coating. These details are reassuring for travel and outdoor use, though the lens isn’t a substitute for care in severe weather.
- 72mm filter thread: The front accepts 72mm screw-in filters, so you can use compatible filters for landscape work without relying on a special holder.
On your camera
This lens uses the Sony FE mount and covers full-frame sensors, with autofocus for compatible Sony FE camera bodies. On a Sony APS-C body, its field of view corresponds to approximately 36-90mm on full frame, a range that favours portraits and everyday subjects over very wide scenes. The camera’s crop factor changes the field of view, not the lens’s marked focal length or maximum aperture.
Specialist Note
At 494g, this lens keeps a full-frame kit from feeling weighed down, which is a real plus on a long city day or a walk to a landscape viewpoint. I’d point it towards Sony FE owners who want a bright standard zoom rather than a bag full of primes. For a landscape, start at the wide end and stop down when you want more of the scene in focus; for a portrait, open to f/2.8 to keep the subject prominent against a softer background. The close-focus range is another good reason to leave it on the camera: small food, flowers or travel details are within reach, with no lens change. One trade-off is the modest reach at the long end, so I’d pair it with a longer lens when distant subjects are the priority.
