The telephoto zoom was first teased at CP+ earlier this year and now joins the company&#8217;s growing lineup of lightweight F\/2.8 zoom lenses for Sony E-mount cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new lens rounds out Samyang&#8217;s compact zoom trinity alongside the AF 14-24mm F\/2.8 and AF 24-60mm F\/2.8. Together, the three lenses provide continuous coverage from 14mm to 180mm while prioritizing portability over the larger, heavier professional zooms commonly found in this class.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Completing the Compact Zoom Trio<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AF 60-180mm F\/2.8 is designed for portraits, sports, events, and wildlife, while its constant F\/2.8 aperture also makes it suitable for indoor and low-light photography.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Compact Zoom Series is a zoom lens lineup from LK Samyang designed to redefine the balance between performance and portability,\u201d the company says. \u201cBased on this need, LK Samyang developed the Compact Zoom Series in collaboration with Schneider-Kreuznach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike the traditional 70-200mm F\/2.8 design, Samyang opted for a slightly shorter focal range to significantly reduce the size and weight of the lens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"EXPERIENCE, EVERYWHERE. Lighter. Faster. Closer. | AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j7mENfY6T6Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Advanced Optical Design<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AF 60-180mm F\/2.8 features an optical design consisting of 17 elements in 14 groups, including one high-refractive-index element, seven extra-low dispersion elements, and two aspherical elements.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lens also incorporates a floating focus system, which is designed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the zoom range and at closer focusing distances.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autofocus is driven by a Linear Stepping Motor, which Samyang says delivers fast, accurate, and quiet focusing for both still photography and video recording. The maximum magnification of 0.26x (1:3.8) also allows photographers to capture tighter close-up compositions without switching lenses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lens also includes a customizable Focus Hold button, an AF\/MF switch, and a Zoom Lock to prevent unwanted lens extension during transport. A built-in USB-C port allows users to install future firmware updates directly to the lens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These features make the lens suitable for hybrid creators who regularly switch between photography and video work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Lightweight Alternative to a 70-200mm<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest selling points of the AF 60-180mm F\/2.8 is its compact design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lens measures just 149mm in length and weighs 730g, making it noticeably lighter than many traditional 70-200mm F\/2.8 lenses. Despite its reduced size, Samyang has included extensive weather sealing to improve durability when shooting outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For photographers looking to build a lightweight travel or event kit, the new telephoto zoom complements the rest of the Compact Zoom Series while keeping overall weight to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Pricing and Availability<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LK Samyang AF 60-180mm F\/2.8 FE is available now through the <a href=\"https:\/\/samyangus.com\/products\/rokinon-60-180mm-f2-8-af-zoom-lens-sony-fe-mount\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samyang online store<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/ilfJG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">authorized retailers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lens is priced at \u00a3899 in the UK.
