As expected, Samyang introduced the AF 75mm F1.8 FE Lens for Sony E mounts. One of the features of this full-frame telephoto lens with autofocus function is the presence of a ring mode switch.
The Sony E mount lenses ‘s linear STM autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras’ AF systems for quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance, and manual focus override is also available for more refined control. Additionally, a Custom Switch enables making intuitive adjustments of a variety of camera and exposure settings by rotating the lens’s focusing ring.
Samyang AF 75mm F1.8 FE is a small and light lens weighing only 230 g and a length of 69 mm, which, thanks to its large f/1.8 aperture and optical system, provides smooth bokeh while blurring the background makes it more relaxed due to the optical solutions used to correct various aberrations.
The optical design is newly developed and provides high resolution over the entire frame area. High contrast for optimal balance. The new stepper motor provides high autofocus performance, works quietly and accurately, which allows more natural portraits, according to the developer.
The optical scheme of the new lens consists of 10 elements in 7 groups. To control chromatic aberration, three ultra-low dispersion lenses, achromatic lenses, and high refractive index lenses are used. In addition, UMC’s proprietary anti-glare minimizes internal reflections, resulting in sharpened images and high contrast images.
