In September 2021 Tamron launched the 35-150 mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD designed to cooperate with full frame mirrorless cameras. Its focal range touched upon the reflex camera 35-150 mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD but this time the producers went one step further by offering you a far better, truly unique aperture fastness.
In April 2023 the Korean Samyang company decided to enter this market segment by launching the AF 35-150 mm f/2-2.8 FE, with exactly the same parameters as the Tamron but also very similar dimensions and a slightly greater weight.
As the Tamron 35-150 mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD has already been tested by us we wanted to check additionally the performance of the newer Samyang. Courtesy of
Focus Nordic, the Samyang products distributor for Poland, we got one specimen of the Samyang lens for testing purposes – thank you very much!
