Samyang teases 20-50mm f/2, 200mm f/1.8 and 300mm f/4 OIS prototypes

Leaked mockups obtained ahead of CP+ 2026 show Samyang preparing full-frame E-mount prototypes: a constant f/2 standard zoom (20-50mm f/2.0 FE), an ultra-fast 200mm f/1.8, and a stabilized 300mm f/4 telephoto. The materials accompanying the mockups note that the designs are not final production versions.

Digital Camera World, citing a report by Sony Alpha Rumors, frames these items explicitly as prototypes and reports that “the lenses are prototypes as Samyang wants to confirm interest in these models before manufacturing anything.” That phrasing positions the CP+ display as market testing rather than a launch of finished products.

Alongside the three leaked mockup models, Digital Camera World lists additional Samyang glass reportedly slated for a Sony FE display at CP+: a 60-180mm f/2.8 FE, a 28-135mm f/2.8 FE, a 20-50mm f/2.0 FE and a 28-85mm FE - the latter two also prototypes. The outlet’s wording places the 20-50mm f/2.0 FE in both the leaked mockup group and in its broader lineup for the show.

A conflicting detail appears in the coverage around 300mm options. The original leaked materials describe a “stabilized 300mm f/4 telephoto” with OIS, while Digital Camera World relays rumor language suggesting “a pair of Samyang 300mm FE prime lenses coming to the CP+ show?” and that “Word on the street is that Samyang will display a pair of 300mm prime lenses for the Sony FE system at the CP+ 2026 trade show in Japan next week.” The two accounts coexist in the available copy as distinct possibilities rather than resolved fact.

The supplied snippets include no direct statement or press release from Samyang, and Samyang is not quoted in the materials provided. The reporting chain in the excerpts runs from leaked mockups to Sony Alpha Rumors to Digital Camera World; the only direct quote about Samyang’s intent appears in the Digital Camera World paraphrase of Sony Alpha Rumors described above.

The Digital Camera World page artifacts captured in the source material are also notable: site UI and affiliate text such as “When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.” and image or caption elements including a black Samyang camera over a purple background with a “price drop” graphic, a Sigma 200mm f/2 DG OS Sports image on a pink to yellow gradient, and repeated mentions of a Tamron 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD alongside a silhouette of a mirrored photographer using a 300mm lens with the LK Samyang logo.

All reporting in the supplied material treats the items as prototypes intended for display at CP+ 2026 in Japan and not as finalized products. Expect official confirmation or hands-on details to come from Samyang or CP+ organizers as the show proceeds.
