LK Samyang Unveils Second Co-Developed Zoom Lens
LK Samyang has announced its latest product, the AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE lens, which was developed in collaboration with the renowned German optical specialist Schneider-Kreuznach.
This new lens marks the second co-engineered zoom lens from the two companies, and with its launch, reinforces LK Samyang's commitment to advancing optical solutions for professional creators.
LK Samyang have announced their latest innovation, the AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE. Developed in collaboration with Germany's esteemed optical specialist Schneider-Kreuznach, this marks their second co-engineered zoom lens and underscores LK Samyang's fifth appearance at IBC—reinforcing the brand's dedication to advancing optical solutions for photographers and creators worldwide.
Earlier this year, the two companies introduced the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE, the world's first front-filter-compatible super-wide zoom lens for Sony E-mount, which earned widespread global recognition. Building on that success, the new AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE expands the lineup into the standard zoom range, delivering uncompromised image quality in a compact, lightweight design optimized for both photography and video production.
Key Features of AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE
• Versatile Standard Zoom: Covers the essential 24–60mm range
• Constant F2.8 Aperture: Delivers exceptional low-light performance and creative depth of field
• Compact & Lightweight: Designed for portability without sacrificing professional performance
•Creator-Centric Design: Perfect for photography, videography, vlogging, and versatile content creation
Paired with the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE, the new AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE reflects LK Samyang's commitment to its philosophy of "Compact High-Performance Zooms." Together, these lenses form a reinforced lineup that enables photographers and creators to unlock new perspectives and expand their storytelling potential.
Craig Harrison, Senior Product Manager, Holdan, commented: "I'm really excited to see the launch of the AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE, the second lens to come from Samyang's collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach. This new zoom is a great example of Samyang's ability to combine exceptional image quality with a design that is extremely compact, lightweight, and great value. Following the success of the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE, this latest addition makes the lineup even more compelling for photographers and creators looking for versatile, high- performance tools."
