Samyang announced a new series of 'Prima' lenses, starting with a new 35mm f/1.4 P for Sony E-mount cameras.
, the first lens in what it is calling its Prime Series. Made for Sony E-mount, Samyang says the new lens sets the standard for its manufacturing technology as the first in its third generation of products.
Samyang says the name “Prima” was chosen as it draws inspiration from the Latin word which means “first” or “important.” The new 35mm f/1.4 P is the pioneer of this new series and the company says it is meticulously crafted to balance high-end performance with practicality — in this case, that means a compact and lightweight design. The three words Samyang chose to design the lens around were portability, practicality, and convenience.
The company says the new AF 35mm f/1.4 P has “unmatched portability” thanks to its scant 470 gram weight and compact design that is meant to compliment cameras like the Sony a7C and ZV-E1. Samyang also says that despite these small proportions, the lens delivers outstanding performance even wide open and the company goes so far as to say that it is particularly good when used at its minimum focusing distance of 0.30 meters , where its sharpness really shines.
“Featuring Samyang’s Linear STM technology, this lens swiftly and quietly handles large focus groups with exceptional accuracy. Capture stunning portraits, vibrant street scenes, and detailed travel photos under any conditions. Perfect for consistently delivering high-quality images,” the company adds.
