Q: 1. What focal lenghth equivalent would this give you using a Sony FS7?

A: The Sony FS7 has a Super 35mm Sensor, with a 1.5x Crop Factor. This would give you the equivalent of a 24mm on the FS7.

Q: 2. Hello, I just purchased a new XEEN 14mm T3.1 Canon mount and Im having an issue that I hope you can help me with. I am using the lens on a Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT and I am adapting to MFT with the Metabones Speedbooster. My problem is this: With the aperture set to 3.1 the image goes soft and blurry at infinity. I can pull a sharp image if the subject is extremely close (12 or less) but the farther away it gets the blurrier it becomes; like the lens is nearsighted. If I close the aperture a bit the problem goes away but then getting enough light becomes an issue and the lens is still very nearsighted; meaning that if the subject is 6 or more feet away Im having to focus to ?, way way off from the markings. On the spec sheet it says the minimum focus distance is 11 but I can easily pull sharp focus on an object as close as 4. Really clear up close but blurry far away. Is this an issue with the lens? Camera? Speed booster? I should say, I have been using a set of standard Rokinon Cine Lenses with great success 24, 35 and 85 also with a Metabones Speedbooster and, to be honest they seem to be pulling in a sharper image than the XEEN. Being that the ZEEN lens is literally 5x the price that doesnt seem right. What do you think?

A: I do not think anything is wrong with the lens or the camera. Rather, I would suspect the adapter. If the lens is not held exactly in the right place, at the precise flange focal distance, you will have the issues you are describing. In other words, the lens is not at the proper placement to the sensor and therefore it cannot focus to infinity. On top of this, the situation is exacerbated with wide angle lenses in general. While everyone knows that wide angle lenses have great Depth of Field in front of the lens, at the rear of the lens the Depth of Focus (or the area in front or back of the sensor where the lens is placing the image) is extremely limited. (Over on telephoto lenses the opposite is true with limited Depth of Field but huge Depth of Focus.) So I suspect that the Metabones Speedbooster (you did not mention which one you had.) holds the Rokinons well enough but is not holding the 14mm Xeen in the precise position required. I would then have to suggest contacting Metabones with the model of adapter you are using for their opinion. Hopefully, you may able to exchange just the adapter and clear up the problem. However, the solution may have to be sending the camera, the adapter and lens to a camera technician for proper adjustment. info@a href= http://metabones.com target= _blank metabones.com/a

Q: 3. Do the cutaways at the front of the lens interfere with a mattebox?

A: The design on the front of the lens will not interfere with the use of a mattebox.

Q: 4. Can this be sent in for an aftermarket mount conversion? (e.g. E Mount to EF)

A: no it can not. the differences in flange distances between the mounts makes this impossible the Sony E mount flange distance is 18mm the PL mount flange distance is 52mm, the lens is built to a 52mm flange distance and can not be changed to work on and 18mm flange. you can add an E mount to PL mount adapter to get the PL mount lens on an E mount camera.

Q: 5. Will the tilta mirage 95mm mattebox fit on this lens seeing as the front diameter is also 95mm?

A: Yes, the Tilta Mirage has a 95mm clamp that will allow it to attach to lenses that have a 95mm outer diameter.

Q: 6. Are these color matched with the Xeen CF?

A: Based on the details provided by the manufacturer these lenses have a different coating and a match with lenses from other Rokinon lines are not guaranteed. The Rokinon XEEN Meister with match other Rokinon XEEN Meister lenses.

Q: 7. What kind of horizontal distortion does this lens render on full frame around the top and bottom of the frame? Does it have barrel distortion, bulge distortion, pincushion distortion, or wave/ wiggle distortion? Do lines stay straight horizontally?

A: All extreme wide lenses exhibit some level of barrel, chromatic, and rectilinear distortion. If you wish to avoid these negatives while using wide lenses, do not get too close to your subject and cause barrel distortion or tilt and cause leaning lines. That being said, rarely are there any wide lenses that are truly bad otherwise lens manufacturers would not make any money. Getting on to your question, this Xeen 14mm lens' performance is not known at this time. However, it is based on the Rokinon 14mm and we know that to be very good, especially in light of its low price. Final note: Wide and tele lenses have characteristics unique unto themselves. In the beginning of their camera career, people often look at these characteristics as negatives to be overcome. In time, the user knows what to look for and then exploits these characteristics to storytelling advantage.

Q: 8. Is the glass in this set different than the much cheaper Rokinon DS series or is this just a rehousing of that glass?

A: As these lens are capable of capturing up to an 8K resolution they are not the same glass you would find in the Rokinon DS series of lenses.

Q: 9. Does the Xeen line lenses have weather sealing?

A: Rokinon Xeen lenses are not listed as weather sealed.

Q: 10. I know this lens is built for full-frame but I'm curious about the coverage if adapted to the Fuji GFX mount. Extreme vignette?

A: Full frame lenses like the Rokinon XEEN CF 50mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens (EF Mount) would have a bad vignette when mounted to a medium format camera like the Fuji GFX, as the image will not full cover the sensor.
