Rokinon Xeen 50mm T1.5 Lens for PL Mount
Professional Cinema Prime Lens at MojoComputers
The Rokinon Xeen 50mm T1.5 lens for PL mount is a cinema-grade prime designed specifically for filmmakers demanding exceptional optical quality, robust construction, and smooth, precise manual control. As part of the XEEN series, this 50mm standard focal length lens offers full-frame coverage, catering to high-resolution cameras used in professional video and film production.
Exceptional Optical Performance
The lens covers a full-frame sensor with a diagonal angle of view of approximately 46.2°, delivering natural perspective framing for interviews, medium shots, and close-ups. Its optical formula consists of nine elements in six groups, incorporating hybrid aspherical and low dispersion glass to minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, and maintain incredibly sharp image quality.
Rokinon’s XEEN proprietary X-Coating technology reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color fidelity even in challenging lighting situations.
Bright T1.5 Aperture and Smooth Bokeh
The fast T1.5 maximum aperture gives filmmakers the ability to shoot in dim lighting and create a shallow depth of field for beautifully isolated subjects. The lens uses an 11-blade rounded diaphragm that produces creamy, natural-looking bokeh, lending a cinematic softness to background highlights.
Robust Build and Balanced Design
Constructed with a metal barrel and equipped with a lens support mount to reduce strain on camera mounts, this lens balances durability and manageable weight at about 1.16 kg (40.9 oz). It has a standardized 114mm front diameter compatible with matte boxes and filters, facilitating quick transitions on-set.
The lens has a fixed physical length due to its internal focus design, minimizing focus breathing and providing consistent framing while pulling focus.
Professional Manual Control Features
The focus ring offers a wide 200° rotation for precision focusing and smooth repeatable pull performance essential to motion picture work. The aperture ring has a de-clicked 40° rotation for seamless iris adjustments during continuous filming.
The lens features dual-sided focus distance scales in feet and meters, as well as dual-sided T-stop markings for easy reading, making it convenient for focus pullers and assistants to work on either side of the camera.
