Rokinon Xeen 16mm T2.6 Lens (Sony E)
Ultra-Wide Cinema Prime at MojoComputers
The Rokinon Xeen 16mm T2.6 Lens for Sony E-mount offers filmmakers an ultra-wide focal length with professional-grade cinema lens quality. Designed for full-frame sensor coverage, this lens is ideal for shooting expansive landscapes, architecture, interiors, and environmental scenes, delivering crisp imagery with a distinctive cinematic feel.
Advanced Ultra-Wide Angle Optics
Covering a full-frame diagonal angle of view of approximately 107°, the 16mm lens opens creative possibilities with dramatic wide perspectives. The optical design incorporates multiple precision glass elements including low-dispersion and hybrid aspherical lenses to minimize chromatic aberrations, distortions, and flare. Rokinon's proprietary X-Coating technology enhances contrast while reducing internal reflections, ghosting, and flare, yielding rich color fidelity and sharp detail.
Bright T2.6 Aperture with Smooth Bokeh
The T2.6 maximum aperture balances depth of field control and light-gathering capability for usable low-light performance. The lens uses an 11-blade rounded iris diaphragm that creates smooth and natural bokeh for subject isolation and aesthetic background blur, enhancing cinematic storytelling.
Robust and Lightweight Design
This lens features a carbon fiber reinforced barrel, offering strength without excessive weight. Weighing approximately 1kg (2.2 lbs) and measuring about 117.6mm in length, it is compact and light enough to be comfortably used with handheld rigs, drones, and gimbals while maintaining durability for professional usage.
Cinema-Grade Manual Controls
The lens has a 200° focusing throw for precise manual focus pulls, paired with a 32.5° aperture ring throw for smooth exposure changes. Standardized gear positions on focus and aperture rings ensure compatibility with follow focus and iris motors, streamlining on-set operation. Glow-in-the-dark markings on the barrel allow focus and aperture reading in low light or blackout conditions.
