Go Lighter. Shoot Longer. Light enough to carry all day.The AF 60-180mm F2.8 FE features an ultra lightweight design of approximately 730g, making it one of the lightest lenses in its class. Compared to conventional 70 to 200mm F2.8 lenses that typically exceed 1kg, it significantly reduces the overall load on the user.This lighter build minimizes fatigue during extended shooting sessions, especially in travel, wedding, and documentary environments. It also enhances mobility, allowing creators to move more freely and stay focused on capturing the moment. This reflects the core philosophy of the LK SAMYANG Compact Zoom Series, capturing more while carrying less.Designed for Real-World UseOptimized 60-180mm Telephoto RangeThe 60 to 180mm focal range is designed around the most practical telephoto coverage for portraits, events, and action. Instead of extending into rarely used focal lengths, it focuses on the range that matters most in real shooting situations.At 60mm, it allows for natural and balanced framing, while 180mm delivers strong subject compression for more impactful results. This versatile range enables smooth transitions across different shooting distances without the need to change lenses. A telephoto zoom designed with real world efficiency and usability in mind.Sharp. From Near to FarFloating Focus' System for Consistent SharpnessA floating focus system is applied to maintain consistent image quality from close focus to infinity. It effectively minimizes optical degradation that can occur at different focusing distances. This is especially beneficial for close up shooting, where maintaining fine detail is essential. The system ensures balanced sharpness across the entire frame, delivering stable and predictable results in a wide range of shooting conditions.Constant F2.8 Aperture. Total Control.A constant F2.8 aperture ensures consistent exposure and visual expression across all focal lengths. It enables reliable performance in low light, helping maintain faster shutter speeds when it matters most. The wide aperture also creates smooth and natural background separation, enhancing subject emphasis. Brightness remains stable throughout the zoom range, allowing seamless framing without exposure shifts. Ideal for both photography and video, it delivers fluid, consistent results in real world shooting.Get Closer Than You Expect
Enhanced Close Up Capability up to 0.26xWith a maximum magnification of 0.26x and a minimum focusing distance of 0.35m, this lens delivers close up performance that is uncommon for a telephoto zoom. It allows you to capture fine details without getting too close, maintaining a natural working distance from the subject
