## Long description

The Samyang AF 18mm F2.8 FE is an ultra-compact, ultra-wide prime lens designed for Sony FE mirrorless cameras. Weighing only 145 g and offering a 100° full-frame angle of view, the lens features a 9-element/8-group optical design with 8 specialized elements (3 aspherical, 2 high refractive, 3 low dispersion) and Ultra Multi-Coating to reduce flare and ghosting. A Linear Stepping Motor (STM) provides fast and stable autofocus performance in a small, travel-friendly package.
Advantages

How to use
Mount the AF 18mm F2.8 FE to a compatible Sony FE camera body and ensure the mount is securely locked. Use autofocus with the camera’s AF settings; the Linear STM delivers smooth focus transitions for stills and video. For landscapes and architecture, stop down the aperture (for example f/5.6–f/11) to increase depth of field and sharpness across the frame. For low-light or astrophotography, use wider apertures and appropriate exposure times with a stable tripod.
Usage recommendations
To get the best results, pair the lens with a tripod for long exposures, use the 58 mm filter thread for ND or polarizing filters when needed, and set in-camera lens correction if available to further reduce any residual distortion or vignetting.
