Ultra-wide coverage in a compact, filter-friendly design

The Samyang AF 14-24mm f2.8 is a compact, full-frame zoom lens designed for Sony E-Mount users who need ultra-wide-angle flexibility without compromising portability or image quality. Weighing just 445g and measuring 88.8mm in length, it’s ideal for travel, architecture, interior, landscapes, and astrophotography, thanks to its fast aperture and strong corner performance. Jointly developed with Schneider-Kreuznach, the lens delivers optical precision in a design uniquely supporting 77mm front filters—rare for this angle of view.

Flexible focal range for demanding wide-angle work

With a 14–24mm zoom range, this lens balances ultra-wide coverage with compositional control. At 14mm, it delivers a sweeping 114.2° diagonal angle of view—ideal for expansive landscapes and immersive interior shots—while the 24mm end offers a slightly narrower field well-suited to environmental portraiture or contextual architectural framing. This range makes it highly adaptable, whether working in tight indoor spaces or capturing vast outdoor scenes.

Advanced optics for consistent edge-to-edge clarity

Samyang uses 15 elements in 11 groups, including aspherical and extra-low dispersion glass, to actively suppress chromatic aberration, distortion, and sagittal coma—key for clean night scenes and high-resolution sensors. The fast constant f2.8 aperture maintains consistent exposure throughout the zoom range, while the 9-blade diaphragm creates smooth, rounded bokeh. With a 0.18m minimum focusing distance at all focal lengths, the lens enables impactful close-ups with strong subject separation.

Fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance

The linear stepping motor (STM) delivers responsive and near-silent autofocus, making it well-suited to photo and video applications. Focus performance is consistent across the entire zoom range, with minimal breathing and precise subject tracking. This technology makes it a reliable choice for gimbal-mounted video work, handheld shooting, and any scenario where discreet, accurate focusing is essential.

Designed for control and reliability in the field

The lens features an AF/MF switch for quick focus mode changes and a user-assignable focus hold button that users can customise via the camera body. With Samyang’s Lens Manager software, users can also reassign the focus ring to control aperture when shooting in AF mode, offering added flexibility to photographers and hybrid shooters. Weather sealing at key points provides added protection from dust and light moisture, making it a more reliable option for outdoor photography.

FAQs:

Can I use filters with the Samyang AF 14-24mm f2.8 Super Wide Zoom Lens?

Yes, this lens has a 77mm front filter thread, which is rare for an ultra-wide zoom. That means you can easily use standard ND, polarising, or UV filters—perfect if you want to control reflections, manage highlights, or shoot long exposures without needing a large or complex filter setup.

Is the Samyang AF 14-24mm f2.8 Super Wide Zoom Lens compatible with APS-C?

This lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-Mount but also works seamlessly on APS-C bodies. On APS-C, the effective focal length becomes approximately 21–36mm, with an angle of view ranging from 91.7° at the wide end to 62° at the telephoto end. This flexible wide-to-standard zoom range is ideal for travel, street, and general photography.

Is the Samyang AF 14-24mm f2.8 Super Wide Zoom Lens coated?

Yes, the Samyang AF 14-24mm f2.8 lens features Samyang’s Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) on its optical elements. This advanced multi-layer coating minimises internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, enhancing contrast and colour accuracy. UMC is particularly beneficial when shooting in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlit scenes or bright environments, ensuring clearer and more vibrant images.
