Rokinon XEEN CF 24mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens (EF Mount)
Compact & Flexible Full-Frame Cinema Prime
The Rokinon XEEN CF 24mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens for Canon EF Mount is a premium cinema prime designed to deliver uncompromising image quality, durability, and professional-grade manual control in a compact and lightweight form. Engineered with carbon fiber housing and advanced optical elements, this 24mm lens provides full-frame coverage compatible with cameras capable of 8K and larger sensor recording, making it an ideal centerpiece for cinematic productions requiring ultra-wide perspectives with superb sharpness and creative flexibility.
Compact Carbon Fiber Build for Enhanced Usability
One of the hallmark features of the XEEN CF series, including the 24mm T1.5 model, is the high-quality carbon fiber construction. This material reduces lens weight without compromising on durability, resulting in a lens weighing approximately 0.9kg (2.0 lbs) for EF mounts, and measuring a compact 100.0 x 98.5 mm, offering unmatched portability and ease of use on handheld rigs, gimbal systems, and drones. The carbon fiber design also imparts a sleek, contemporary aesthetic prized by modern cinematographers.
Bright T1.5 Aperture for Low-Light and Depth Control
With a maximum aperture of T1.5, this lens excels in gathering light, enabling low-light shooting while offering exquisite depth of field control. Filmmakers can achieve smooth subject isolation with creamy bokeh crafted by the 11-blade rounded diaphragm, enhancing the artistic and dramatic elements of each frame. This aperture also facilitates control over exposure in complex lighting environments without sacrificing image quality.
Exceptional Optics with X-Coating Technology
The Rokinon XEEN CF 24mm T1.5 features optimized optical elements with X-Coating technology, effectively controlling unwanted internal reflections, flare, and ghosting that can degrade cinematic image quality. This results in sharp, high-contrast visuals with excellent color fidelity required for 4K and higher cinema workflows.
The lens covers a full-frame image circle of Ø43.3mm and provides an 84.1° angle of view, translating to approximately 61.2° on Super 35 and smaller sensor cameras, making it highly versatile across multiple cinema camera systems.
Precise Cinema-Grade Manual Controls
The lens includes geared focus and aperture rings designed around industry-standard pitches for seamless integration with follow focus units and iris motors. The focus ring rotation spans 200°, supporting smooth, repeatable focus pulls essential in narrative cinematography.
The aperture control is designed to be smoothly operated with a 40° rotation without clicks for silent and continuous exposure changes during filming, maintaining audio integrity and illumination consistency.
Additionally, this lens offers dual calibrated right- and left-side distance and T-stop scales printed in luminous paint, enabling quick and accurate reference during night or blackout shooting scenarios—a crucial feature ensuring workflow efficiency on professional sets.
Compatibility and Versatility
This 24mm prime lens is part of a complete system that includes lenses ranging from 16mm to 85mm, designed to be color matched and used interchangeably. Its compact size and standardized front diameter of 95mm facilitate easy use with matte boxes and lens accessories, making it a flexible choice for various shooting styles including handheld, stabilized, and aerial cinematography.
