Samyang AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE / Rokinon AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE
24–70mm · f/2.8
Overview
The Samyang AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE is a competitively priced standard zoom for Sony E-mount, offering good center sharpness but softer edges wide open. Distortion is moderate at 24mm but well-controlled elsewhere. Build quality is excellent with weather sealing, though it is heavy at over 1kg. Autofocus is quiet and quick, and the lens is parfocal, appealing to videographers. It suits budget-conscious photographers and videographers seeking a versatile f/2.8 zoom, but lacks stabilization and has a stiff zoom ring.
