Samyang’s New AF 14-24mm f/2.8 for Sony E-mount is officially available and it’s one of the most compact full-frame ultra-wide zooms on the market with these kind of specs. It weights 445 grams and measures under 90mm in length. What makes this lens release particularly interesting is its Schneider-Kreuznach co-engineering, a partnership that’s helped pack in 15 elements in 11 groups, including aspherical, HR, and ED glass. The result? Minimal distortion, better coma control, and sharp detail from center to corner, even wide open at f/2.8.

The 14–24mm zoom range should give you the best of both worlds: ultra-wide at the 14mm end for sweeping interiors or star-filled skies, and a more contained 24mm for street, events, or even wide-environment portraits. You’re also getting standard 77mm front filter support, which is rare for a lens this wide. Autofocus is handled by a linear STM motor, which is fast, silent, and smooth. Add in a 0.18m minimum focus distance, and you can get right up close for dramatic wide-angle shots with strong foreground separation.

Extra touches include an AF/MF switch, a customizable focus hold button, and weather sealing in key areas for extra reliability on location. You can also tweak settings using Samyang’s Lens Manager software, including reassigning the focus ring to control aperture. The Lens comes in at $1420.
