Astrodesign & Samyang Join The L-Mount Alliance

Following the public announcement of the L-mount standard at photokina in 2018, Astrodesign and Samyang have been named the sixth and seventh companies to join the L-Mount Alliance which already consists of Leica, Sigma, Panasonic, Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH and DJI.

The goal of the alliance is to utilise the L-mount standard developed by Leica Camera AG for cameras and lenses in future product development.

Stephan Schulz, Head of Product Management Professional Camera Systems: “The L-Mount is an up-to-date lens interface, that unifies photo and video applications in the best possible way and allows for innovative optical designs due to the shallow flange depth. With ASTRODESIGN, the L-Mount Alliance gains a member that is undoubtedly an innovator in advanced professional video. This underlines the versatility of the L-Mount Standard and the high-level ambition of the L-Mount Alliance. With SAMYANG we welcome an agile lens maker, that has undoubtedly developed within a short period of time an impressive lens portfolio for photography and cinematography.”
