Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Samyang AF 60-180mm F2.8 is compatible with all Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. To mount the lens, align the white dot on the lens barrel with the dot on your camera body and rotate clockwise until it clicks. Ensure your camera firmware is updated to the latest version to utilize the full performance of the autofocus system. For care, keep the front and rear elements clean with a lens blower and high-quality microfiber cloth. While weather-sealed, avoid submerging the lens in water and store it in a cool, dry place with a bag of silica gel if living in a humid climate.
