Zoom lens Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 L-Mount

The Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 L-Mount is a fast, versatile zoom lens that covers five commonly used focal lengths (35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm and 150mm) in a single optic. With a bright maximum aperture of f/2 at the wide end and f/2.8 at telephoto, the lens is designed to serve portrait, travel, event and low-light photography while also supporting video work through video-oriented features and reliable autofocus performance.

Advantages

The lens delivers high resolution across the frame thanks to an advanced optical design that uses special elements and an Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) to reduce flare and ghosting. A Linear Stepping Motor provides fast, accurate and quiet autofocus suitable for both stills and video. The fast aperture produces attractive background separation and pleasing bokeh through a 9-blade diaphragm, while a short minimum object distance enables close-up shots with strong subject isolation. The exterior uses a metal barrel with weather sealing and a discreet red accent for improved durability and everyday usability.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography where subject separation and shallow depth of field are required
• Travel and street photography for situations requiring a wide zoom range
• Event and commercial shoots needing versatile focal lengths without changing lenses
• Low-light photography and video thanks to the bright f/2–f/2.8 aperture
• Videography that benefits from quiet AF, dolly shot mode and Linear MF options

How to use

Mount the lens on an L-Mount camera body and set the camera to your preferred exposure mode. Use the zoom ring to select focal lengths between 35mm and 150mm for framing; choose the widest aperture positions (f/2–f/2.8) for shallow depth of field and low-light situations. Use autofocus for fast subject acquisition or switch to Linear MF mode for smooth manual focus control while recording video. For dolly-like motion, enable the lens’ dolly shot mode if available on your camera or use the dedicated custom switch for video-specific controls.

Usage recommendations

For portraits and close-up work, shoot at the longer focal lengths and wider apertures to maximise subject separation. When shooting landscapes or scenes requiring edge-to-edge sharpness, stop down the aperture slightly and use the lens between 35–85mm for greater depth of field. Keep the mount and seals clean and avoid exposing the lens to prolonged heavy rain; the weather sealing protects against dust and light moisture but not full immersion.
