Manufacturer description #1
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.
※ Pre-order is only available in Korea.
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.
Manufacturer description #2
September 26th, 2024, Seoul, Republic of Korea – LK SAMYANG, a leading global optical brand, is proud to announce the launch of the Remaster Slim which is a rare and unique lens that allows users to switch between three focal lengths (21mm/28mm/32mm) using just one module mounted to the camera.
Remaster Slim – Where the Modularity Meets Inspiration
Remaster Slim is inspired by a homage to the P&S film camera. It reinterprets the point-and-shoot concept with modern technology, creating a unique interchangeable optical lens that allows users to switch focal lengths easily. It is designed to preserve the warm and rich feel of the analogue film while delivering digital image quality that compensates for the limitations of classic lenses. Even when combined with the module, this lens remains extremely thin, compact, and lightweight, making it perfect for capturing everyday snapshots or landscapes with maximum shooting freedom anytime and anywhere.
Remaster Slim Key Features
Innovative Interchangeable Optical Lens
By applying the latest AF technology and introducing worm gear for the first time in an interchangeable lens, we have achieved a high-torque autofocus. This strong torque enables optical system interchangeability, resulting in a product that perfectly balances creativity and practicality. The compact lenses of the Remaster Slim, available in three focal lengths (21mm F3.5, 28mm F3.5, 32mm F2.8), can be quickly and securely mounted to the bayonet mount module using magnetic technology.
Perfect for everyday - A thin, compact, and lightweight
Remaster Slim weighs only 66.5g (RS 32mm F2.8), including the module and lens—nearly half the weight of other lenses on the market. Additionally, it is incredibly thin at just 19.5mm, the footprint of this system means maximum points for portability, allowing it to fit comfortably in your pocket - perfect for elevating your everyday or travel photography. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and this system has been designed to help encourage everyone to take their mirrorless cameras with them everywhere they go, to be able to capture those everyday life moments without hindrance.
Convenient Features
The aperture control system utilizing magnetic technology, another key feature of the interchangeable optical design, enhances the mechanical precision of the lens. The module includes an AF/MF switch on the side for easy switching between focus modes, and a USB-C port located on the mount allows for convenient firmware updates without the need for additional accessories.
Modern Technology with Classic Charm
Remaster Slim embraces the joy of shooting and the freedom of expression. It blends classic aesthetics with modern performance, allowing photographers to capture their unique style in every shot.
