Samyang has officially confirmed the upcoming release of its AF 28-135mm f/2.8 FE zoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras, set for launch in February 2027. According to Camera Jabber, this new lens will be the longest-reaching constant-aperture f/2.8 zoom currently available for full-frame Sony E-mount systems, offering creators extended telephoto capability without sacrificing brightness across the zoom range. The announcement highlights Samyang’s continued investment in high-performance optics tailored for professional and semi-professional content creators who demand reliability and image quality in dynamic shooting environments.

The lens features Samyang’s autofocus system, designed to integrate seamlessly with Sony’s advanced autofocus and sensor technologies found in cameras like the Alpha series. This compatibility ensures fast, accurate subject tracking—critical for video creators, event photographers, and hybrid shooters working in low-light or fast-moving scenarios. By maintaining a fixed f/2.8 aperture throughout the 28-135mm focal range, the lens provides consistent exposure and depth-of-field control, a key advantage for cinematic workflows and consistent lighting in variable conditions.

For creators building lightweight yet capable kits, this lens bridges the gap between standard zooms and heavier telephoto options, offering versatility from wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives without needing to change lenses. Its confirmation aligns with growing demand for premium third-party optics that match or exceed first-party performance while often delivering better value. Samyang’s focus on constant-aperture zooms reflects a broader trend toward simplifying creative workflows through predictable, professional-grade tools.

As the February 2027 launch approaches, further details on pricing, availability, and exact specifications are expected. However, the core promise remains clear: a durable, high-performance zoom leveraging Sony’s ecosystem strengths, aimed at empowering creators with greater flexibility and confidence in their visual storytelling.
