LK Samyang Unveiled the new “LK SAMYANG AF 14-24mm F2.8 L,” an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for L-mount incorporating optical technology from German company Schneider-Kreuznach. Despite being an ultra-wide-angle lens starting at 14mm, it boasts versatility by allowing the attachment of a 77mm lens filter to the front. It weighs only 441g.
SAMYANG AF 14-24mm F2.8 L Features
“SUPER-WIDE” ultra-wide-angle zoom
An ultra-wide-angle zoom lens starting from 14mm. It stimulates creativity in all kinds of photography, including landscapes, cityscapes, nightscapes, architecture, interiors, and portraits.
“SUPER-LIGHT” Revolutionary 441g
Designed for Leica L-mount, this lens is significantly lighter than other full-frame zoom lenses of the same focal length, making it ideal for travel and outdoor photography.
“SUPERB-RESOLUTION”
Employing an advanced optical design with 11 groups and 15 elements, it delivers sharp image quality from the center to the edges of the composition, effectively correcting chromatic and coma aberrations. It is also ideal for astrophotography.
“SUPER CLOSE-UP”
The minimum focusing distance is 0.18m across the entire range, and the maximum magnification is 0.26x. The ultra-wide perspective allows you to beautifully blur the background while highlighting the subject.
“SUPER-PRECISE”
Equipped with a unique linear stepping motor, it delivers fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance, resulting in sharp images even with fast-moving subjects.
Convenient Features of the SAMYANG AF 14-24mm F2.8 L
The focus and zoom rings are designed with ease of operation in mind. The side of the lens barrel is equipped with an AF/MF switch and a custom button, allowing for instant setting changes even while shooting.
Furthermore, weather sealing is employed in various moving parts to protect the lens from water droplets and dust.
*The L-mount version requires firmware updates via the camera itself, therefore it does not have the “USB terminal” found in the FE-mount version.
