Nokishita leaked the first photos of the Samyang AF 24mm f/1.8 FE because news sites posted it early. It will be 71mm long and weigh just 230g which makes it great for compact cameras and expands Samyang’s tiny series of lenses. The minimum focus distance is 0.19m and the lens has 5 weather seals that protect from rain, dust, or snow. It is expected to be 577 francs or $621.24 USD.
Samyang’s “AF 24mm F1.8 FE” was posted on overseas news sites.
71 millimeters long and weighs just 230 grams
It includes a new mode, the “Custom Mode”. The lens can be placed in the infinity focus to create beautiful star shots. The focus hold button, which is also new, fixes the current focus distance. Users can also save their desired focus position and call it up later if necessary.
The AF 24mm F1.8 FE comes with a total of 11 elements in 8 groups, as Samyang continues, as well as 7 special lenses (2 ASP, 3 HR, 2 ED). The F1.8 aperture is designed to provide sharp focus and beautiful, blurry backgrounds. The 9-blade aperture should create a natural bokeh.
With an image angle of 83.7 degrees (wide angle) and a short minimum focus distance of 0.19 meters, the lens should be usable both indoors and outdoors. When used outdoors, five weather seals protect the lens from rain, dust, or snow.
The lens will be available in Switzerland from mid-May for 577 francs.
