Lens Overview — Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8

The Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is a full-frame zoom lens designed for Sony E mount mirrorless cameras, covering a versatile focal length range from 35mm to 150mm. What makes this lens particularly notable is its maximum aperture spec: f/2 at the wide end and f/2.8 at the telephoto end, which is an exceptionally bright aperture range for a zoom of this reach. This makes it a compelling single-lens option for shooters who want to cover a wide variety of subjects — from environmental portraits at 35mm to tighter telephoto compositions at 150mm — without sacrificing too much light-gathering capability.

The lens features autofocus and is built for the mirrorless system, making it compatible with Sony's full-frame E mount camera lineup. Classified as an all-in-one or travel zoom in the telephoto range, it uses an 82mm filter thread, which is worth noting when budgeting for filters. At 1,231g, it carries meaningful weight, which is a trade-off for the bright aperture range it delivers across the zoom.

Image stabilization is not present, so shooters will rely on in-body stabilization where available.

Key Features — Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8

Description — Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8

The Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is a Sony E mount zoom lens designed to cover full-frame mirrorless cameras across a 35mm to 150mm focal length range. Its standout specification is the f/2 to f/2.8 maximum aperture, offering exceptional light-gathering capability across the zoom range — a rare feature for a lens spanning this focal length. Autofocus is built in, making it a practical choice for photographers who need reliable, fast subject acquisition.

The lens falls into the all-in-one travel zoom category within the telephoto range, making it a strong candidate for shooters looking to minimize how many lenses they carry. With an 82mm filter thread, standard circular filters can be used, though at a larger and typically more expensive size. The lens weighs 1,231g, which is a meaningful consideration for portability.

There is no optical image stabilization, so users shooting at longer focal lengths should factor in their camera body's IBIS capability when evaluating this lens for handheld use.
