How Samyang sees lenses: Point · Line · Plane

Every subject on Earth is made up of points, lines, and planes.
Samyang Lens sees everything from this absolute standard.

POINT

Point · Beginning

Everything begins with
the subject you want to capture.

LINE

Line · Connection

The lens connects
that subject to you.

PLANE

Plane · Completion

At the end of that connection,
a single scene remains.

01From a Point

Everything begins with a single point

The point is what you want to capture — the subject itself.

Samyang focuses on the subject you want to capture,
and makes it the starting point of everything.

02Through a Line

Samyang, the line between the subject and you

A lens is the passage that connects the subject to you.

Light from the subject travels through the lens to reach you.
Samyang stands at the heart of that connection.

03Into a Plane

Preserved forever as a plane

Light that starts from a point travels along a line and becomes a single plane.

At the end of the line drawn through Samyang, the moment you wanted to capture
is completed as one perfect scene.

0450-Year Journey

50 Years of History

Since 1972, Samyang has held to a single axis that runs from point to plane.

This process, from the subject to you, takes place on a single axis.
Through changing times, Samyang's axis has never wavered.

Introducing the Samyang Logo

The steadfast resolve of Korea's only lens brand.

Samyang (三樣) means the three elements that make up every subject on Earth: point, line, and plane.
To this, we added the Geon, Gon, Gam, and Ri trigrams of the Taegukgi — a proud mark of Made in Korea.
