Why swap lenses when you can just swap the glass elements?
The simpler design of prime lenses in general — which offer no zoom capabilities — can deliver several advantages, including sharper images and a shallower depth of field. That approach can get expensive and heavy — problems that Samyang’s Remaster Slim autofocus lens, measuring just 0.8 inches thick, may solve. Samyang says the lens offers “genuine analog sensibility that is distinctly different from smartphone images created with digital technology” and that the company drew inspiration from “legendary P&S film cameras of the past.” That sounds nice, but it also sounds like Samyang is hinting that the Remaster Slim may produce softer results than other prime lenses, which also now offer faster maximum apertures closer to f/1.4.
