Optical construction is 17 elements in 14 groups, including 2 Aspheric, one Hybrid Aspheric, 3 HR (High Refractive index) and 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion). The coating is Samyang's well established UMC. For improved bokeh, the diaphragm comprises 9 blades. The lens is also weather-sealed. The lens is very heavy more than the Sigma and Sony equivalent , it is well built like the other Samyang but it a level below the Sigma Art and Sony GM. The Samyang AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE is not really a macro lens, but it does offer a usefully close focus point of 0.35m / 1.15ft across the entire zoom range from the sensor plane and a maximum magnification of 0.27x when set to 70mm.

It features 17 elements in 14 groups including 2 aspherical elements, a hybrid aspherical element, 3 HR elements and 3 ED elements.The minimum focus distance of 0.35m is slightly shorter than in the Sony lens, enabling a slightly larger magnification ratio of 0.27x at the long end of the zoom range. A ‘Custom’ dual-mode switch is featured, which is nominally used for switching between autofocus and manual focus, but can be customized to set other functions like aperture control. Samyang says that additional functions will be added in the future, through firmware updates. For pure video work and for 24/33Mpix where you really need the 24mm, the Samyang is a recommended choice

24-70mm lens for Sony Alpha Cameras? What is the best 24-70mm lens for Sony Alpha Cameras?

Par-Focal: This function maintains focus on the subject when zooming in and out. It is a feature optimised for video shooting and normally seen on very expensive cine zoom lenses. For still images, keeping a distance equal to the diagonal length of the full image surface is recommended. The full frame sensor of a digital camera is 36 x 24mm and the diagonal length is 43.26mm so any distance close to this number is nearer to the ideal than the currently accepted industry standard of 50mm.

So, you shoot Sony and are currently using a more basic zoom kit lens and want to upgrade to a more versatile all-rounder zoom lens? Or you've just got into the Sony Alpha Mirrorless system and are looking for that first lens to go with your Sony Alpha camera? Si le globalement le Samyang 24-70 sera un des meilleurs en video, comparé aux autres il délivre de moins bonnes performances en photos en terme de piqué, forme des ronds de bokeh et facilité d’utilisation (poids et taille) This lens does not feature optical image stabilisation, so it relies on the camera body's own built-in stabilisation, which is fine unless you're an owner of an early Sony Alpha camera.
