As the AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE provides the ‘Par-focal’ function in manual focus video shooting mode, allows the user to zoom in on a subject and zoom back out while maintaining the same focus. Now the users are able to shoot cinematic-look videos more conveniently.

Customized Cine Kit
A Samyang Cine Kit, consisting of focus gearing, follow focus, and tripod mount, enables you to shoot professional video. With this Cine Kit, you can easily exchange the shooting system such as the lens or the follow focus, so it saves your time changing systems for shooting.

Excellent Resolution
This zoom lens delivers a 24-70mm angle of view and a bright maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, as commonly utilized by full-frame camera users, so it can be used for diverse photos such as landscapes, portraits, and snaps. In particular, the optimum resolution is achieved through the optical design of 17 elements in 14 groups (2 ASP, 1 H-ASP, 3 HR, and 3 ED).
The bright aperture of the AF 24-70 F2.8 FE offers a beautifully blurred background. The subject and background are effectively separated with shallow depth of field, creating impressive images highlighting the subject. The 9-blade circular aperture contributes natural-looking bokeh and the beautiful starburst effect.

Short Minimum Focusing Distance
The minimum focusing distance is just 0.35m, so it is possible to produce a unique perspective close to the subject. It makes it easier to take various images such as food on tables or portraits with exaggerated features.
Advanced Fast and Quiet AF

The AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE features the latest STM, a larger and heavier focus lens group that can be controlled more quietly and precisely, providing excellent image quality in both photos and videos.
