Rokinon XEEN 14mm T3.1 Pro Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds

Because visual storytelling demands precision and clarity, the Rokinon XEEN 14mm T3.1 Pro Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds is engineered to meet the exacting needs of professional cinematography. This robust lens is designed with an internal focus mechanism, ensuring that the lens maintains a consistent size during focus adjustments, which is crucial for avoiding focus breathing and preserving the cinematic quality of your footage.

Crafted with a multi-coating process, the lens delivers exceptional contrast and color fidelity, while effectively preventing glare. This meticulous attention to optical quality ensures that each lens you add to your collection will match seamlessly, thanks to the factory-standard color calibration, facilitating a cohesive lens set with minimal color discrepancies.

The ultra-wide 14mm focal length opens up a vast field of view on full-frame sensors, making it ideal for capturing expansive landscapes, architectural wonders, or dynamic scenes where every detail matters. On smaller sensor formats, the lens offers a more standard wide-angle view, providing versatility for various shooting requirements.

With dual-sided focus and T-stop scales, the lens is user-friendly for both the camera operator and the focus puller, allowing for operation from either side without inconvenience. The 9-blade iris construction contributes to a pleasingly rounded aperture, enhancing the cinematic quality of the out-of-focus areas with smooth, natural bokeh and attractive highlight rendition.

The manual focus and iris controls of this lens are designed for filmmakers who value tactile precision over automation, with no auto focus or auto iris functionality. The cinema-style gears for focus and iris are uniformly positioned across the XEEN lens series, streamlining the workflow and allowing for quick, consistent adjustments when using follow focus systems or iris motors.

Durability is a cornerstone of the lens's construction, featuring a solid metal build and an additional support foot to alleviate stress on the camera's lens mount during rigorous shooting schedules. The 114mm front diameter is standardized across the XEEN series, simplifying lens changes when using a matte box and other focus accessories, and the non-rotating front element accommodates the use of clip-on matte boxes with ease.

The focus ring's extensive 200-degree rotation from close focus to infinity provides filmmakers with granular control, ensuring sharp, accurate focus pulls. The clickless aperture ring allows for smooth, on-the-fly adjustments to exposure, contributing to the lens's capacity for capturing the director's vision without technical distractions.

With a minimum focusing distance of just 11 inches, this lens enables you to get intimately close to your subjects, opening up a world of creative possibilities for dramatic close-ups and engaging perspectives.

The Rokinon XEEN 14mm T3.1 Pro Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds is not just a tool but an extension of the cinematographer's vision, offering the reliability, performance, and quality needed to bring cinematic stories to life.
