Marco Bakker posted this image of the Samyang booth at the IBC show in Amsterdam. And from left to right you see these lenses:

• 14-24mm f/2.8 L-mount lens (E-mount lens version is already listed here).
• 24-60mm f/2.8 L-mount lens (E-mount lens announced to come in autumn)
• A newly announced 60-180mm f/2.8 FE lens!
• And an impressive 28-135mm f/2.8 FE lens!

There’s no word yet on pricing or release dates, but 2026 is shaping up to bring a flood of fast f/2.8 zooms — and that’s seriously exciting!

I’m really excited about this 28-135mm f/2.8. It’s a one-of-a-kind lens in the E-mount lineup. What’s your take on it?

The new Samyang/Schneider 24-60mm f/2.8 lens is available for preorder at Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt,

In this interview, the Laowa manager revealed that the upcoming Laowa 200mm f/2.0 FE will cost just $1999 — a full $1,300 cheaper than the Sigma 200mm FE!

For that price folks…I will buy one and you?
