Our editorial take on the Samyang AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE Full-Frame Lens for Sony E-Mount, Black

The Samyang AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE is a full-frame standard zoom for Sony E-mount cameras that competes directly with first-party and premium third-party options at a substantially lower price point. With its constant f/2.8 aperture and autofocus, it covers the most versatile focal range for event, portrait, and general photography. At $657 MSRP, it undercuts Sony's own 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II by more than $1,500, positioning itself as a budget-conscious alternative for shooters who need the flexibility of a fast standard zoom without the flagship price tag.

Samyang has built a reputation for delivering solid optical performance at aggressive price points, and this lens appears to follow that formula. The 82mm filter thread and included hood suggest a build designed for practical field use. For Sony shooters looking to add a workhorse zoom to their kit without stretching their budget, this lens offers the core specifications needed for professional-level shooting. Whether it matches the build quality, autofocus speed, and edge sharpness of more expensive options remains to be seen in real-world use.

Best for: Sony E-mount shooters on a budget who need a versatile standard zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture for events, portraits, and general use.
What's great
  • Significantly lower price than Sony and Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 options
  • Constant f/2.8 aperture across the zoom range
  • Covers the most versatile focal length for general shooting
Watch outs
  • No user reviews available to confirm optical and autofocus performance
  • Samyang lacks the brand recognition and support network of Sony or Tamron
