Wow! It’s rare to see real innovation and today Samyang really delivered it! They just announced the world’s first optical exchange AF lens! The bad news is that this lens will for now only be available for purchase in Korea. What I like about this lens is:
Now, it’s so disappointing to learn the lens will not be available outside Korea yet…but I hope this will change soon.

World’s First Optical Exchange AF Lens
This innovative technology allows you to exchange only the optical elements (optical system) inside the lens instead of replacing the entire lens of the camera. This technology allows you to use lenses with various optical characteristics in one lens body, greatly increasing the flexibility of photo and video shooting and efficiently saving space. The magnetically fixed bayonet mount is easy to exchange and can be quickly replaced depending on the situation.
The 21mm, 28mm, and 32mm optical systems are inspired by legendary P&S film cameras of the past. These lenses have been reborn with designs optimized for digital sensors while maintaining their unique characteristics.

Smaller, Lighter, More Versatile
Remaster slim is smaller and lighter than previous models, while adding more features to make it even more powerful. This model offers enhanced portability and various shooting features that users need, delivering outstanding performance in any shooting environment. Despite its small size of less than 2cm and weight of less than 80g, it features a custom AF/MF switch for upgraded versatility. Additionally, in MF mode, the MOD is shortened, allowing you to capture subjects more dynamically and realistically. This small and cute lens will transform any E-mount mirrorless camera into a portable auto camera.
Modern Technology with Classic Charm
Remaster Slim reinterprets the characteristics of classic optical systems with modern technology, offering even richer expression. The subject in focus is depicted delicately and in detail, while the out-of-focus background blur creates a more painterly image. Additionally, depending on the type and intensity of the light source, a soft glow effect appears at the edges of the subject, softening skin tones and adding a poetic feel to the photos. These features help photographers maximize the artistic value and emotion they express.
Classic Aesthetics with Analog Sensibility
Remaster Slim provides a genuine analog sensibility that is distinctly different from smartphone images created with digital technology. This lens creates warm and profound images that cannot be imitated by the digital world, giving photos a natural and soft tone. It retains the detail and texture of classic optical systems while meeting modern photography demands. Through this, users can experience a unique connection between the past and the present.

Features
The BCN ranking, which compiles actual sales figures from 2,400 electronics and camera retailers and online shops nationwide, has summarized the sales situation and price fluctuations in the mirrorless market. These are the July 2024 Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera sales share by manufacturer:
BCN writes:
Sony’s share of mirrorless sales volume has risen sharply from 33.3% in June. This is due to the price increase that the company implemented on August 1st. Sales have increased due to last-minute purchases before the price increase.
The company’s hit product “VLOGCAM ZV-E10” is particularly popular. It has maintained the number one sales volume for 25 consecutive months since July 2022. In particular, this July’s sales share was 29.3%, approaching 30%, recording astonishing sales. The secret to its popularity is its low price.
