Rokinon's Xeen 85mm T1.5 Lens for Canon EF Mount is built specifically for use as a cinema lens, and is not a modified still photo lens. It features an internal focus design so that the lens does not change size while focusing, minimizing breathing. Each lens in the Rokinon Xeen cinema lens set is multi-coated for good contrast, glare prevention, and color matched to a factory standard, allowing you to assemble a set over time with minimal color shift. This 85mm focal length is often chosen for portraits and close-ups. The lens features dual-sided focus scales in feet, with dual-sided iris scales. The 11-bladed iris provides a rounded aperture for a natural looking highlights and Bokeh.

The lens is a manual focus and iris lens, and does not have auto focus or auto iris capability. It incorporates cinema-style focus and iris gears that share the same position across the lenses in the Xeen set. The common 114mm front diameter allows for quick lens changes when using a matte box and focus accessories. The focus ring rotates 200° from close focus to infinity; this gives you a high degree of precision and consistent focus.

Q: 5. Can the mounts be changed ?

Q: 6. Anyone try these on DSLRs? Which DSLR would you recommend for best results? I have a Canon 5D M4, just wondering if there's something better I can try them with, if at all. THANKS!!!

A: The Xeen lenses will fit without issue on any Canon EF mount camera from a Rebel to the 5D's and 1D's. There will be different field of view depending on the size of the sensors, either full frame or APS-C. These lenses will render a consistent sharpness, color, flatness, chromatic aberration, and lack of vignetting across all of the lenses in this set making them a good choice for affordable budget video production. Their use, like with any set of cinema lenses, will result in time and labor saving both on-set and in post production However, determining what is best DSLR or best anything for that matters depends on the task at hand and what is best for you.The Canon 5D Mark IV is the most popular pro level DSLR in the world so in affordable digital cinema, that camera is an excellent place to start. Now if you wish to experiment, get your hands on a Sony s7S II or a C300 or a Sony FS7. Normally, a cinematographer will select the camera that is best for the job and then for artistic reasons select different brands of lenses based on their color, sharpness and overall character.

Q: 7. Can lenses be changed over to other mounts?
