Samyang is officially teasing the lens of a new lens that is “Lighter. Faster.Closer”.

Back in March Phototrend had a chat with a Samyang manager where they discussed those possible new lenses:

• 20-50mm f/2 AF lens: It is reportedly still at an early stage of development, and its launch would not be expected before 2028 or 2029. Due to its wider aperture, this zoom would be larger and heavier than the current 24-60 mm.
• 28-85mm f/2-2.8 AF lens: It was initially envisioned with a constant f/2 aperture, but Samyang would ultimately opt for a variable aperture in order to reduce its size. Unstabilized and slightly larger than the new 24-60 mm, this zoom could see the light of day by late 2027 or spring 2028 if feedback is positive.
• 28-135mm f/2.8 AF lens: reportedly already in production for a release planned for late 2026 at the earliest.
• 300mm f/4 OIS AF lens: The South Korean manufacturer could even consider integrating a built-in 1.4x teleconverter (effectively turning it into a 420 mm f/5.6) to work around licensing restrictions on external teleconverters imposed by major camera manufacturers. Would be Samyang’s first to feature optical image stabilization (OIS).
• 200mm f/1.8 OIS AF lens: Producing this kind of lens could be costly.

Moreover Samyang displayed a prototype of a new 60-180mm f/2.8 lens at the CP+ show:

I don’t know of the lens coming on June 25 is going to be the 28-135mm f/2.8 FE/L or the 60-180mm f/2.8 FE/L. What do you think?

삼양에서 6월 25일 새로운 줌렌즈를 공개하려나 봅니다.

FE 마운트는 사실 당연하고 추가로 L마운트까지 예상하는군요.

올초에 여러 줌렌즈들의 가능성이 예측됐는데..

28-135 2.8 이나 60-180 2.8 이 아닐런지?

어찌되었든 삼양이 L마운트를 적극적으로 출시해주기만을 바랄 뿐~!
