A new standard for compact zoom lenses
Designed for creatives, built for the real world. Following the success of the AF 14-24mm F2.8 FE, LK Samyang and renowned German optics manufacturer Schneider-Kreuznach proudly present their second jointly developed zoom lens: the AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE.
This standard zoom lens redefines everyday usability with exceptional sharpness, portability and professional versatility - all packaged in a sleek, lightweight design.
Precision optics for every image
This Lens, developed through the collaboration of advanced optical engineers from Korea and Germany, delivers outstanding image quality with precise control of aberrations and consistent color fidelity throughout the zoom range.
The advanced optical design comprises 14 elements in 11 groups, including aspherical (ASP), high refractive (HR) and extra low dispersion (ED) glass. This design ensures high resolution, rich contrast and minimal distortion. With a wide angle of view, the Lens captures impressive subjects and is ideal for everything from dynamic environmental portraits to captivating documentary scenes.
Truly compact. Incredibly versatile.
Despite its lightweight body (just 494g), this Lens offers a constant F2.8 aperture and enables reliable low-light performance and smooth bokeh control - perfect for travel, vlogging and event photography.
Close-up flexibility across the zoom range
With a short closest focusing distance of 0.18m (wide-angle) and 0.32m (telephoto), this Lens brings you closer to your subjects - ideal for capturing food, pets or everyday moments with depth and detail. The magnification of 0.27x (wide) / 0.25x (tele) supports close-up macro shots and enables creative close-ups with soft background blur.
From the street to the studio
Whether you're shooting environmental portraits, everyday moments or documentary videos, this Lens covers the most commonly used focal lengths, making it your reliable companion in any situation.
Artistic bokeh and background separation
The AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE delivers beautiful bokeh and shallow depth of field thanks to its constant F2.8 aperture. The 9-blade circular aperture creates soft, rounded highlights and makes your subject stand out impressively against a creamy out-of-focus background. This makes it an excellent choice for portrait photography and expressive visual storytelling.
Low-light performance you can rely on
With a constant F2.8 aperture and precisely engineered aspherical elements, this Lens maintains sharpness and minimal distortion even in low light. Capture clean, detailed images without having to raise the ISO value significantly - perfect for night scenes and dimly lit interiors.
Reliable autofocus for photo and video
The AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE is driven by a powerful Linear STM motor (stepper motor) and offers fast, precise and virtually silent autofocus. This Lens ensures smooth subject tracking for still images and seamless, noiseless focus transitions when shooting video. Designed for hybrid creatives, it works reliably even in low light and enables fast and discreet photography in any environment.
Brand new feature - Trustworthy robustness
The AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE is made from high-strength materials and has a robust design that ensures reliable performance in a wide range of shooting situations.
Hydro Shield + dust protection to IP5 standard
The Hydro Shield (water and oil repellent coating) minimizes the adhesion of dust, moisture and fingerprints on the lens surface. This keeps the Lens clean and easy to wipe clean after use. In addition, the dust-resistant design to IP5 standard guarantees stable shooting performance, even outdoors or on the move, and provides long-lasting protection for your Lens.
High-strength aluminum frame
The lens barrel is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, providing a lightweight yet robust body that ensures reliable protection for both long and frequent use.
Creator-friendly functions
Designed for versatility, the AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE has the essential features creators rely on for smooth and efficient operation.
Customizable button for personalized control
The customizable button is assigned to the focus hold function by default, but can be assigned to other functions depending on the camera body. This feature allows creatives to customize the Lens to their individual shooting style for more flexibility and efficiency.
AF/MF mode switch
You can easily switch between autofocus and manual focus for a smooth shooting experience. In AF mode, users can reassign the focus ring as an aperture control ring using the LK Samyang Lens Manager for more precise exposure settings.
USB-C port for firmware updates
The integrated USB-C port enables easy firmware updates without a separate Lens Station and ensures continuous optimization of camera compatibility and functional performance.
Weather sealing
The weather sealing protects the Lens from water droplets, light rain, snow and dust. ※The Lens is not guaranteed to be dust and splash proof in all situations and conditions.
Impressively designed right from the start
Refined exterior design
The premium packaging has a matt surface texture with silver foil logo and offers a professional appearance that matches the quality of the Lens inside.
Secure protection for all components
All components included in the scope of delivery are safely housed in shock-absorbing foam and are thus protected during shipping or when traveling.
Upgraded unboxing experience
A magnetic closure and carefully designed details emphasize the premium character of the brand - from the very first moment.
