LK Samyang's 14-24mm F2.8 Lands on L-Mount at Half the Weight of Sigma
L-mount shooters finally have a serious alternative to the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8, and the weight difference alone makes this worth your attention. LK Samyang's version comes in at 441g versus Sigma's 795g. That's 354g you're not carrying through a construction site or a three-hour corporate walkabout. The front filter thread is the other thing that matters. Every other 14-24mm F2.8 on L-mount uses rear sheet filters because of the bulbous front element. Rear filters are fiddly, proprietary, and annoying. A standard 77mm front thread means your existing filter system works out of the box. For architecture, landscape, and real estate shooters on Lumix S or Leica SL bodies, this is a genuinely practical option shipping right now, not a roadmap promise.

Samyang AF 14-24mm f/2.8 L-Mount Goes Official
L-mount shooters have been starved for fast ultra-wide zoom options that don't cost as much as a used car. Samyang's AF 14-24mm f/2.8 changes that. For Lumix S5 II and Leica SL2 owners doing architecture, interiors, or real estate work, this is the lens to watch. The Schneider Kreuznach co-development badge isn't just marketing either — that partnership has produced sharp, well-corrected glass so far. Pre-orders are live now in Europe, with US availability incoming.

Samyang x Schneider-Kreuznach 14-24mm f/2.8 Lands on L-Mount
L-mount shooters have always had solid native glass from Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma, but native pricing stings. This Samyang x Schneider-Kreuznach 14-24mm f/2.8 brings a lens that's already earned credibility on Sony bodies over to the L-mount alliance, which means Panasonic S5 II event shooters and Sigma fp documentary types now have a credible, cheaper alternative for wide-angle work. A fast 14-24mm is a workhorse: architecture, interiors, real estate, environmental portraiture, events where you're tight for space. The Sony version held up in real-world use, so the optics aren't a gamble. If you're shooting L-mount and you've been waiting for third-party glass to catch up with the system, this is that moment.

Samyang AF 60-180mm F/2.8 FE Completes Sony E-Mount Zoom Trinity
Samyang's AF 60-180mm F/2.8 FE is now official for Sony E-mount, rounding out the Compact Zoom Series that starts at 14mm. The lens runs 17 elements in 14 groups with a floating focus system, Linear Stepping Motor AF, and a 0.26x maximum magnification. Samyang trimmed the focal range to 60-180mm rather than the standard 70-200mm to keep size and weight down.
