Rokinon Xeen 35mm T1.5 Overview

Rokinon's Xeen 35mm T1.5 Lens for PL Mount is built specifically for use as a cinema lens. It features an internal focus design so that the lens does not change size while focusing, minimizing the appearance of breathing when changing focus. Each lens in the set is multi-coated for good contrast, glare prevention, and color match to a factory standard, allowing you to assemble a set over time with minimal color shift. This 35mm lens provides what is considered a somewhat wide angle of view on full-frame cameras, and a tighter angle of view on smaller formats.

The lens features dual-sided focus scales marked in feet, with dual-sided iris scales. The 11-bladed iris provides a rounded aperture for 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 when adjusting focus.

This 35mm lens has an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor. When mounted on a camera with a Super 35mm sensor it provides you with a tighter shot than if it was mounted on a camera with a full-frame sensor.
The lens features metal construction to withstand the rigors of daily production, and comes with a support foot that can help take strain off your camera's lens port.
Dual right and left side focus and t-stop scales allow your focus puller to work from either side of the lens, without having to flip the lens in the mount, or facing upside numerals.
Each lens in the XEEN series share common focus and iris gear ring positions, which speeds up lens changes as accessories such as follow focus units or iris motors don't have to be re-positioned.
The common 114mm front diameter allows for quick lens changes as you don't have to swap out anti-reflection donuts or adapters to use the same matte box.
The non-rotating front allows you to use optional clip-on matte boxes.
Clickless aperture ring for smooth iris pulls.
A minimum focusing distance of 13" allows you to get up close to your subject.

Are these the same optics as the photo lenses?

Are these the same optics as the photo lenses?
Asked by: NICHOLAS
No, The Rokinon Xeen lenses are 6k ready optics with XEEN Proprietary X-Coating Technology that differ from Rokinons photo lens models. Also the 114mm non rotating front is perfect for matte box attachment. Unified 40° Iris Rotation Unified 200° Focus Throw Large Easy To Read Markings

question

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

question

Do the XEEN lenses have lens support on the bottom of the lenses?
Asked by: Robert
I have this set and ALL have an integral 1/4-20 support. The supports are most appropriate when the lenses are used with camera bodies such as the A7SII.I mostly use these lenses with my FS7 and have a matte box mounted normally (B&H # WOWC202100). The combination adds support and protection to lenses in addition to providing normal matte box functionality.Pete

question

Does this communicate lens data to the camera?
Asked by: NICHOLAS
No it does not. 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.

will this lens work with a Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H ?
Asked by: chad
This is an EF mount lens while the S1H has an L-Mount. You will need a Canon EF Lens to Leica L-Mount adapter. https://bhpho.to/2ICgtHp

Will this work with a SpeedBooster on a Sony FS7?

Will this work with a SpeedBooster on a Sony FS7?
Asked by: Joseph
Yes it will. This lens covers a Full Frame Sensor and the FS7 has a Super 35mm Sensor, which are two key requirements for a Speed Booster. Since this is a Cinema lens we suggest the Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony E Mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (Fifth Generation), B&H # MEMBSPEFEBT3, because of its study connection. https://bhpho.to/2tTMK4p
