What is the Samyang AF 35-150mm zoom lens used for?

The aperture has 9 blades and is available between f/2 and f/16 on the wide end between f/2.8 and f/22 on the telephoto end. The minimum focusing distance is 33cm (1.08′) at 35mm and 85cm (2.79′) at 150mm. According to Samyang, the UMC (Ultra Multi-Coating) on the lens elements should minimize flare and ghosting. Lens specs. Source: Samyang The Samyang 35-150mm F2-2.8 is an attempt from Samyang to copy the success of the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD but offering it at a lower price (1350 instead of 1800 euros) For still images, keeping a distance equal to the diagonal length of the full image surface is recommended. The full frame sensor of a digital camera is 36 x 24mm and the diagonal length is 43.26mm so any distance close to this number is nearer to the ideal than the currently accepted industry standard of 50mm. Just like the Tamron lens, the Samyang 35-150mm covers full-frame sensors, and it, unfortunately, comes for Sony E-mount only. The zoom range is very versatile and the fast aperture of f/2 on the wide end and f/2.8 on the telephoto end makes it a very interesting do-it-all option for full-frame cameras in my opinion. A slight downside might be the lens weight and size, but that is to be expected given the impressive specs. The Samyang 35-150mm weighs 1,224g (43.2oz), while its length varies between 157.4mm (6.2″) and 197.9mm (7.79″) when zooming. The maximum diameter is 92.8mm. AF 35-150mm f/2-2.8 FE lens.
