Samyang Unveils Remaster Slim, World’s First Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens




Samyang is, for my part a minimum of, among the many extra inventive lens producers. The Korean firm poses a formidable roster of lenses, some haven’t any parallels to be discovered throughout the business. The brand new Remaster Slim Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens is one (or 4?) such product(s). The Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens is considerably of a “system inside a system” consisting of a separated, exterior mechanism and three interchangeable optical modules. with 21mm f/3.5, 28mm f/3.5, and 32mm f/2.8 the system covers classic-wide angles with reasonably gradual apertures, related to basic Panckacke lenses. The Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens aimes for 2 main options: Compactness and considerably old-school optical traits. The latter could also be closely derived from the previous since dimension limitations tremendously impression the optical efficiency. It’s, nevertheless, very compact. System inside a systemAt the center of the Remaster Slim system is the Remaster Slim. basically a glassless lens, it’s an e-mount ring outfitted with an STM autofocus motor and an empty barrel within the center.

Out there lens modulesThe Remaster Slim Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens system at present affords three focal lengths, all on the reasonably broad facet. These embrace 21mm f/3.5, 28mm f/3.5, and 32mm f/2.8. All modules embrace surprisingly advanced optical formulation (when put into dimension context that’s). Made with 6-7 parts, two of that are what Samyang calls PMO aspherical parts the lenses additionally embrace one ED aspect for the 21mm and the 28mm, and one HR glass aspect for the 32mm.Samyang Remaster Slim lens on a Sony A7 IV. Picture credit score: SamyangReviving a uncommon breed, for higher or worseAs for the Samyang press launch, the brand new Remaster Slim system revives the uncommon breed of compact 35mm cameras. This pancake set, lower than 2cm lengthy and 80g gentle will make your Sony E-mount digicam pretty compact. Whereas nonetheless not out there for the L-Mount it appears excellent for the Panasonic LUMIX S9. Whereas we haven’t had the possibility to check it, pattern pictures counsel some similarities with compact 35mm cameras of previous. Relying in your framing this may be a nostalgic classic look, filled with character, or an uncorrected mediocre optical efficiency, low bokeh sort of imagery. As somebody who enjoys adapting previous 35mm lenses onto the spectacular 100-megapixel sensor of his GFX digicam, I’ve zero judgment for such optical decisions. Simply bear the traits in thoughts when making your choice.An progressive resolution for a questionable problemWho doesn’t need their digicam to be smaller, lighter, and pocketable? All of us do. But it appears most compact affords, be it cameras or pancake lenses, by no means actually soar. Apart from the well-known exception of the FUJIFILM X100VI, it appears that evidently everybody needs compactness however aren’t keen to pay the costs. It’s not about cash, as most compact lenses and cameras are on the inexpensive facet, it’s in regards to the compromises. Whereas the Remaster Slim is meaningfully smaller than different lenses, not to mention lens units, a system dimension consists of the digicam physique. As soon as including the physique dimension to the combination the distinction dilutes considerably. There are additionally important optical compromises as effectively. Most compact optics characteristic a quite gradual aperture. Whereas light-gathering functionality could also be offset by the massive sensor, the deeper depth of discipline resembles compact cameras or smartphones. The latter can now decisively generate a bokeh simulation that simply works for a lot of intents and functions. Whereas the Samyang Remaster Slim Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens system is progressive and technically spectacular, I’m unsure about its audience. Nonetheless, I can not deny the enchantment of a tri-lens system I can match within the smallest of pockets, with a negligible weight to it. I hope Samyang will add a case that latches on to your digicam strap, like movie canisters of previous, making in a bagless carry possibility for your complete set, digicam included.Value and availabilityThe Samyang Remaster Slim Optical Alternate Autofocus Lens system is simply out there in South Korea as of right this moment, with a price ticket of round $230. It’s out there for the Sony E-Mount.Will this miniature lens set be just right for you? Do you want the thought on the coronary heart of this method?
