Product Information

Test images taken with a Sony Alpha 7 III. The Samyang AF 35-150mm is sharp across its focal range and very well corrected for both distortion and chromatic aberrations. It’s nicely contrasty and delivers a convincing impression of depth with the very smooth roll-off from the in-focus to the out-of-focus. (Image credit: Paul Burrows)

Cinematic Video AF: When shooting video, the AF speed is more carefully adjusted than photo shooting, resulting in lower wobbling and highly stable movie shooting. AF 35-150mm F2-2.8 FE Autofocus, full frame, wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom lens - Sony FE Mount Tournez la bague de zoom doucement vers la gauche (vers le grand angle) tout en avançant progressivement vers votre sujet The Tamron has also a more smooth zoom ring which is more convenient when zooming in video, the Samyang is a bit more stiff and you see that when zooming in videoEn terme de fonctions personnalisées ils ont des fonctions communes comme la bague de mise au point qui peut devenir une bague d’ouverture ou la bague MF avec un réponse linéaire. Le Samyang offre la fonction Dolly, et le Tamron offre des fonctions de preset de mise au point AB et un contrôle fin sur l’angle de rotation de la bague de mise au point Mode 3 – in MF mode, the ring makes it easier to perform dolly zoom shots. In this mode, the focus ring and zoom ring are linked in the system so that users can take the dolly zoom shot just by operating the zoom ring.

For still images, keeping a distance equal to the diagonal length of the full image surface is recommended. The full frame sensor of a digital camera is 36 x 24mm and the diagonal length is 43.26mm so any distance close to this number is nearer to the ideal than the currently accepted industry standard of 50mm. The shortest focusing distance of the Samyang is 33 cm. at 35mm mode and 85 cm. at 150mm mode. The magnification ratios you can achieve with it are 1:5.7 in wide-angle mode and 1:5.9 in telephoto mode. So no macro capability, but more than sufficient for close portraits, for example. Custom modes Digital Par-Focal: Digital Par-focal is specialized for video shooting as it can maintain focus on the subject when zooming in or out. Since this function is usually mounted in expensive cine zoom lenses, it provides a more special experience and results to customers who use this zoom lens. Nice focal range but I feel that for event photography you need 2 lenses anyway to also cover wide-angle, so 24-70/16-35 and 70-200. The Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Lens for Sony was released 6 April 2023, which is around eight months after the previous launch of the second generation AF 85mm F/1.4 FE II Lens For Sony.So we see that there are indeed other lenses with a wide zoom range that offer much better magnification." Samyang has moved a step forward with its innovative second-zoom lens to provide a more convenient user experience. The lens is remarkably versatile as an all-in-one lens with fast maximum apertures and provides a solution for photographers seeking to avoid lens changing. It was clearly designed for a portrait photographer, but the wide zoom range is also useful for everyone shooting commercials, events and travel imagery. Outstanding Resolution, from corner-to-corner The lens supports autofocus via a linear stepping motor, which Samyang says provides both accuracy and high-speed responsiveness when shooting both photos and videos. It also has a relatively short minimum focusing distance of 0.33 meters (about 13 inches) at 35mm and 0.85 meters (about 33.5 inches) at 150mm. MTF curves of the Samyang AF 35-150mm F2.0-2.8 FE are not yet available. Looking at the available high-resolution imagery of this lens, we see decent resolution, little to no chromatic aberrations and at full aperture a nice blur, which of course you would actually expect from a lens with such high brightness. For further judgment, we will have to wait until we can test this lens extensively ourselves.
