The Rokinon XEEN CF 50mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens, in an ARRI PL mount, features a lightweight carbon fiber housing and compact design while providing full frame coverage of large sensors. This lens is advanced enough for use with large cameras capable of capturing up to 8K resolution, yet it's also compact for use with smaller mirrorless cameras and in drone and gimbal applications. Support for 8K allows the lens to capture vivid details. Moreover, the lens offers sharpness and color optimized for skin tone to capture subtle emotional expressions.

Aside from the reduction in weight, the innovative carbon fiber design provides a rich and modern look. A fast T1.5 aperture ensures low-light performance and an 11-blade iris allows you to achieve impressive bokeh, enabling you to create a sense of dimension and space. The lens incorporates Rokinon's X-coating technology, which effectively controls the reflection of light inside and within the lens itself to create a distinctive look. Properly utilizing flares and ghosting, you can create dramatic effects.

A bidirectional scale and dual calibrated right- and left-side distance and T-stop scales allow for a more efficient workflow. Additionally, the markings are luminous for dark environments. The XEEN CF 50mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens is tightly color-matched with other lenses in the XEEN CF series and offers a matching 95mm front diameter.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do the XEEN lenses have lens support on the bottom of the lenses?

A: None of the current XEEN lenses is known to have lens support. The current lenses weigh between 2.5 and 2.7 lbs or so and do not need the support. If they go to 100mm plus, I would be looking for support being added then.

Q: 2. How does the focus work? Like is it still manual or will it work with Blackmagic's bluetooth app for pulling focus?

A: This is a cinema lens that only has manual focus. There is a focus ring, marked in feet, to manually adjust focus. This lens will not electronically pull focus.

Q: 3. Can lenses be changed over to other mounts?

A: There is no official manufacturer information regarding this. However, it is my opinion that the lenses can be converted. However, this should only be done by a qualified technician and not by a user in the field.

Q: 4. Can the lens mounts be changed?

A: Yes, the Rokinon Xeen 35mm T1.5 Lens for Canon EF Mount can have the mount changed. For example, the Rokinon XEEN Support Mount Kit for PL. See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3fDL4YO

Q: 9. Would you recommend this lens with a black magic 6k camera for a video podcast? How do I decide on “mm”? I will have 4 cams.

A: The best way to decide on focal lengths is to use a directors viewfinder and the least expensive form of one is an app on your phone. You will tell it what camera sensor size you are using and then it will show you what the field of view will be for each selected focal length.

Q: 10. How well does this lens perform when the aperture is closed all the way down (CA and sharpness)?

A: While we are not aware of any specific testing for CA and Sharpness at various apertures, the Xeen 35mm should perform very well. It is a great option for a Cinema lens at an affordable price.
