LK Samyang Expands Its Co-Developed Super-Wide Zoom AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE to L-Mount
LK Samyang, a global optical solutions company, announces the expansion of its first compact zoom series product, co-developed with Schneider-Kreuznach, the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE, now available in L-mount.
The AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE is a jointly developed product that combines Schneider-Kreuznach’s renowned optical design expertise with LK Samyang’s advanced manufacturing and autofocus technologies. Upon its release, the lens set a new benchmark in the ultra-wide zoom category, offering a compact and lightweight design along with a unique 77mm front filter capability.
Following its launch, the compact zoom series expanded with the introduction of the standard zoom AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE, delivering both portability and versatility. Furthermore, at CP+ this year, LK Samyang revealed its plan to complete the lineup with the upcoming telephoto zoom AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE.
This new L-mount version of the AF 14-24mm F2.8 maintains the same optical performance and key specifications as the original FE mount version, while featuring a compact length of approximately 86.8mm, an ultra-lightweight design of just 441g, and a minimum focusing distance (MOD) of 0.18m. Through this expansion, LK Samyang aims to offer a broader range of options to global users across diverse camera systems.
This L-mount expansion goes beyond a simple mount addition. It represents a strategic move to make LK Samyang’s optical technology accessible to a wider community of creators. LK Samyang will continue to develop and introduce products optimized for various systems and user environments, further strengthening its presence in the global market.
