Samyang AF 35-150mm F2.0-2.8 FE for Sony E - All-in-One Zoom Lens with Par Focal, Cinematic Video AF, Dolly Shot Zoom, Custom Switch, Weather Protection

Product Information

For portraiture, backgrounds can be rendered softly blurred thanks to the fast maximum aperture that’s maintained across the zooming range. Digital Par-Focal: Digital Par-focal is specialised for video shooting as it can maintain focus on the subject when zooming in or out. In Linear MF mode, focus movement is constant regardless of the speed at which the focus ring is turned through its 300° rotation. The lens is constructed of 21 elements arranged into 18 groups, which includes one hybrid aspherical, two aspherical, three high refractive, and six extra-low dispersion glass elements.

Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage.

A dolly shot, also referred to as a tracking shot or trucking shot, is a camera movement technique used by cinematographers to track and follow a subject in motion. Pulled the trigger on the Samyang when it came out in Europe and was on sale from a retailer for 1099€.

Back when film cameras were common, 45mm was the industry standard and this continued as reflex cameras needed extra space to fit a mirror.

In this mode, the focus ring and zoom ring are linked in the system so that users can take the dolly zoom shot just by operating the zoom ring. The premium design and performance of 2nd Generation lenses have been applied to the lens, and it also supports the key features of recent Sony mirrorless bodies, including Hybrid AF, Eye AF, Direct Manual Focus (DMF), and the AF assist function.

This zoom is nicely contrasty and delivers a convincing impression of depth with the very smooth roll-off from the in-focus to the out-of-focus. Importantly for video-makers, the optical design is parfocal which means that a manually-set focusing distance won’t shift when zooming. I would rarely use 200mm, except maybe for paparazzi style head shots, and 24mm only for large, staged groups. Combined with the fast aperture of the lens, the background is beautifully blurred when close to the subject, making the lens even more versatile.

Lens for Sony was released 6 April 2023, which is around eight months after the previous launch of the second generation AF 85mm F/1. The minimum focusing distance is 33 centimetres at 35mm and 85 centimetres at 150mm which gives a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:5. A professional dolly can be expensive and challenging to operate, but this lens allows you easily take the dolly shot. Whether you are a professional event photographer, travel photographer or an enthusiast hybrid shooter, this could become the most versatile and widely used lens in your collection.
