Samyang announced it’s “something new” lens and it is a very interesting one with 21mm, 28mm, and 32mm optical systems. This interchangeable system is currently only available in Korea, but I hope we get to hear more about it soon.

World’s First Optical Exchange AF Lens
This innovative technology allows you to exchange only the optical elements (optical system) inside the lens instead of replacing the entire lens of the camera. This technology allows you to use lenses with various optical characteristics in one lens body, greatly increasing the flexibility of photo and video shooting and efficiently saving space. The magnetically fixed bayonet mount is easy to exchange and can be quickly replaced depending on the situation. The 21mm, 28mm, and 32mm optical systems are inspired by legendary P&S film cameras of the past. These lenses have been reborn with designs optimized for digital sensors while maintaining their unique characteristics.
Smaller, Lighter, More Versatile
Remaster slim is smaller and lighter than previous models, while adding more features to make it even more powerful. This model offers enhanced portability and various shooting features that users need, delivering outstanding performance in any shooting environment. Despite its small size of less than 2cm and weight of less than 80g, it features a custom AF/MF switch for upgraded versatility. Additionally, in MF mode, the MOD is shortened, allowing you to capture subjects more dynamically and realistically. This small and cute lens will transform any E-mount mirrorless camera into a portable auto camera.
