Rokinon Xeen 35mm T1.5 Lens for PL Mount
A Cinema Prime Lens That Defines Visual Excellence
When it comes to cinematic storytelling, the lens you choose plays a crucial role in shaping the narrative through visuals. The Rokinon Xeen 35mm T1.5 lens for PL mount is a professional-grade cinema prime crafted explicitly for filmmakers who demand precision, outstanding optical quality, and smooth manual control. Designed to deliver sharp images, vibrant colors, and creamy bokeh, this lens ensures the cinematic integrity of each frame.
Unparalleled Optical Performance
At the heart of the Xeen 35mm T1.5 lens is a sophisticated optical design, featuring 11 elements in 8 groups that include hybrid aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements. These specialized components minimize chromatic aberrations, distortions, and flare, delivering crystal-clear images with excellent resolution and sharpness from edge to edge. This design allows you to capture every detail with stunning clarity, vital for high-resolution productions including 4K, 6K, and 8K workflows.
One of the key enhancements is the proprietary Rokinon X-Coating, which drastically reduces flare and ghosting. This coating ensures outstanding contrast and accurate color reproduction even when shooting under challenging lighting conditions, such as backlit scenes or bright light sources.
Bright and Expressive Aperture
The lens boasts a bright maximum aperture of T1.5, a favorite among filmmakers for its ability to produce richly lit images in low-light conditions. This wide aperture is essential for creative depth-of-field control, allowing you to isolate your subject against softly blurred backgrounds. The 11-blade rounded iris diaphragm contributes to producing smooth, natural bokeh, elevating the visual storytelling by adding a depth of emotion and focus to your shots.
Durable and Balanced Carbon Fiber Construction
Film sets demand lenses that can endure rigorous use while maintaining ergonomics conducive to steady shooting. The Rokinon Xeen 35mm is built with a carbon fiber reinforced barrel, making it robust yet remarkably lightweight at approximately 1.36 kilograms (48 ounces). This balance of strength and weight aids in comfortable camera handling, whether mounted on handheld rigs, gimbals, or studio arms.
Dimensionally, the lens offers a compact footprint measuring about 117.6mm in diameter and 113.7mm in length, ensuring easy integration with standard matte boxes and accessories on professional cinema cameras.
Precision Manual Controls
Manual focus and aperture control is paramount in cinema applications, and this lens excels with a generous 200° focus ring rotation that allows smooth and exact focusing. This long focus throw is invaluable for follow-focus operators who need precise, repeatable focus pulls during storytelling.
The aperture ring provides a 40° de-clicked throw, allowing for fluid exposure changes without noticeable jumps. Both rings feature 0.8 MOD gear teeth for compatibility with industry-standard follow focus and iris control motors. Additionally, dual-sided focus distance in meters and feet alongside T-stop markings enhance usability for assistants or cinematographers working on either side of the camera.
