FAQs:
Can I use the Samyang AF 24–60mm f2.8 on APS-C cameras?
Yes. Although designed for full-frame Sony FE mount cameras, the lens is fully compatible with Sony APS-C bodies. On APS-C sensors, the effective focal length ranges from 36 to 90mm, with a diagonal angle of view that varies from 62.0° at 24mm to 27.0° at 60mm. Autofocus, aperture control, and electronic communication operates normally, giving the same level of integration as on full-frame models.
Is the Samyang AF 24–60mm f2.8 an internal zoom lens?
No. The AF 24–60mm f2.8 is not an internal zoom design. The barrel extends when zooming from 24mm to 60mm, increasing in length from 102mm to 126mm. While the optical groups internally adjust the focal length, the external barrel movement means it does not maintain a fixed size.
What filters can I use with the Samyang AF 24–60mm f2.8?
The lens accepts 72mm screw-in filters, which is a standard size compatible with ND, polarising, and protective filters. Because the lens uses internal focusing, the front element does not rotate during focus adjustments, allowing users to add polarising and variable ND filters without alignment issues.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
