PRESS RELEASE
More than eyes can capture
Premium lens of SAMYANG matched with
50 megapixel photo and 8K video production
September 12th, 2016, Seoul, South Korea – Photokina, Hall 2.1 C035-D038 – The global optics brand, Samyang Optics (http://www.samyanglensglobal.com) will announce its long-awaited first premium lens line-up: 85mm F1.2 and 14mm F2.4. This launch is a cornerstone for Samyang Optics to become a ‘Total Imaging Solution’ brand along with the introduction and expansion of autofocus lenses and XEEN lenses.
Founded in 1972 in South Korea, Samyang Optics has been the representative of Korean optics industry. With over 40 years of research and development in optics, Samyang integrates the essence of history and introduces a signature lens line-up of Samyang. “We believe a lens is one of the foremost elements in photography and videography”, says Haejin Lee, the head of Samyang Research Centre. He continues, “to create a signature Samyang Lens series, we have reviewed all the meetings and talks with photographers and cinematographers from past decades. They always return to one concept, the image quality. And it’s what we are after.”
85mm F1.2 and 14mm F2.4 manual focus lenses inherit and upgrade the eminent Samyang’s image quality to the next level. The new Samyang Lenses has the unprecedented resolving power, matched with 50 megapixels and 8K video productions. The two lenses enable you to capture life-long memories in everlasting image quality. Bokeh, out-focusing, starburst effect creates unforgettable image. Photographers can rely on the lens under various conditions. The resolving power contains abundant pixel information, allowing photographers the freedom in post-production to create unique image of own. Also, the minimised aberration enhance the clarity of image, creating faithfully real-to-life images.
The F1.2 of 85mm is, by far, the brightest lens in existing full frame DSLR lenses, securing the fast shutter speed. It has ten elements in seven groups, applying one aspherical lens and two high refractive lenses. The aspherical lens minimises the aberration and unnecessary light dispersion. Three high refractive lenses effectively adjust the path of light and deliver maximum amount to the sensor for clear and vibrant image.
14mm F2.4 also takes no compromise for the image quality. It is equipped with the most advanced optical technology among Samyang Lenses. It has 18 glasses in 14 groups including four different special optics: two aspherical lenses, one hybrid aspherical lens, two extra-low dispersion lenses and one high refractive lens. This optimal performance creates impressive image quality from centre to corner of image.
Also, the design itself is the statement. Aluminium alloy metal is adopted for maximum durability. With a sleek yet unprecedented design with flowing curves, this signature line-up is a one-of-a-kind lens. The usability is maximized with considerate diameter in 93~95mm.
In pursuit of image quality itself, Samyang will continue to develop premium manual focus lenses in response to the demands of professionals and will compete with world famous optics brands in quality and design. The lens will be globally available within 2016, and the suggested retail price will be announced at a later date.
At Photokina 2016, Samyang will unveil a broad range of new camera lenses along with signature premium lens. Samyang is showcasing new advancements including the latest autofocus lens, manual focus photo and cine lens, and professional video-cine lens brand, XEEN. The exhibition will be a cornerstone for Samyang Optics to become a ‘Total Imaging Solution’ optics brand.
