Rokinon Xeen 20mm T1.9 Overview

Rokinon's Xeen 20mm T1.9 Lens with Sony E 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, this minimizes 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 20mm lens provides what is considered a wide angle of view on full-frame cameras, and a correspondingly tighter angle of view on smaller-format cameras.

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" (out-of-focus highlights). 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. The lens mount can be shimmed, and additional mounts (available separately) may be used with the lens.

Note:
Interchangeable mounts may be attached by a qualified technician only
This is a 20mm lens that has an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor. When mounted on a camera with a full-frame sensor it provides you with a wide angle of view.
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 since you don't have to swap out any donuts or adapters to use the same matte box.
The non-rotating front allows you to use optional clip-on matte boxes.
Click-less aperture ring for smooth iris pulls.
A minimum focusing distance of 8" allows you to get up close to your subject.

Rokinon Xeen 20mm T1.9 Reviews

Very nice lens.

I have a full set of Xeen EF on my Lumix GH series and it has been a success. This particular lens is my favorite. Sharp even wide open which is not the case with the 24-85. This 20mm works perfect with both Metabones, 0.64x and 0.71x and I do get an extra stop of exposure. Also because of the MFT system, this lens on a jib is an easy focus situation and the same for the stediCam. This commerical was shot on the GH5s with this lens working 80% of the shots because I witched between two speed booster and one dumb adapter onto the Atomos Shogun. https://vimeo.com/337339997

Are Rokinon Xeen lenses matched to Samyang Xeen ...

Are Rokinon Xeen lenses matched to Samyang Xeen as well? Is it okay to combine Rokinon and Samyang versions and maintain a consistent look?
Asked by: Martin
No, You should stay with the same brand to have them match. Rokinon Xeen lenses have a slightly different color hue ( VS Samyang). The difference is very subtle.

question

what is the filter diameter ???
Asked by: Prateev
Like many cine lenses of old, this lens does not have filter threads. It has a 114mm front diameter sized for use with 114mm matte boxes that will hold the filters. If you wish to mount filters directly, you can use this this adapter and it will allow you to mount 4.5 round filters. Schneider 114mm SSLR to 4.5 Adapter Ring B&H # SCFH114

What would be the crop factor when using this lens on a BMPCC 6K?
Asked by: Michael
I don't own that camera but I believe it shoots in super 35 which is around 1.5 crop and that would make this lens a 30mm equivalent.

Is this lens compatible with the FTZ adapter?

Is this lens compatible with the FTZ adapter?
Asked by: Paschal
Yes it should be. This is an F Mount lens and the FTZ Adapter allows you to use F Mount lenses on Z Mount Cameras. However this is a fully manual lens, you will need to control the focus and iris on the lens itself.
