Samyang af 24 60mm f 2 8 fe vs samyang af 24 70mm f 2 8 fe?

The two lenses are very close. Both are Samyang f/2.8 standard zooms for Sony E full-frame bodies, neither is stabilised, and both autofocus. The difference is the long end. The 24-60mm f/2.8 FE stops at 60mm and weighs just under 500 grams, so it's the lighter choice. The 24-70mm f/2.8 FE reaches 70mm, which is more useful for tighter portraits and detail shots. Its page doesn't list a weight, so I won't guess at it.

I'd pick the 24-70mm if you want one standard zoom to do most jobs. Go with the 24-60mm if you carry your camera all day and want the lightest option. Both keep the same f/2.8 exposure across the zoom, which is worth having. If you're still choosing your first lens, the lenses guide explains where a standard zoom fits in.
