A versatile wide-angle prime for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE is an especially compact, lightweight lens well-suited for travel, landscape, and street photography. The optical design incorporates three aspherical elements and two high refractive index elements to suppress spherical aberrations, which help to realize a high degree of sharpness and clarity throughout the aperture range. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to control flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. The lens's autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras' AF systems for quick and precise focusing performance, and manual focus override is also available for more refined control.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this include Image Optical Stabilization?

A: No.

Q: 2. Is there noticeable distortion with this lens?

A: The lens has some distortion and vignetting. While it is nowhere near the amount of the manual focus 14mm lens, the distortion and vignetting is not automatically corrected by Sony cameras (which only have profiles for their own lenses). While I have not seen an actual test of the distortion performance, there is not much, and it is relatively easy to get rid of in post-editing. One source I found stated that the measurement for distortion did not come in at higher than 1%, which is not a lot and which is surprising, especially for a super-wide angle lens. The old manual lens had a mustache distortion pattern, while it appears the minimum distortion on this lens is more of a barrel distortion pattern. While there is no profile for the lens in Lightroom, some have found that using the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 lens' profile does a rather good job of correcting the slight distortion. In either case, if you are not happy with the lens' performance, the lens is subject to the terms and conditions of our 30-Day Return Policy (link found on the bottom of our website).
