Xeen lenses are fantastic for the money. The image quality is better than my Canon L lenses when mounted to a cinema camera. And when I compare them to cinema lenses that cost $10k more you can barley tell the difference.

The Best Cinema Lenses for the money
By David B.
Xeen lenses are fantastic for the money. The image quality is better than my Canon L lenses when mounted to a cinema camera. And when I compare them to cinema lenses that cost $10k more you can barley tell the difference.
Because the XEEN 135mm T2.2 Pro Cine Lens by Rokinon is the sixth addition to the esteemed XEEN Professional Cine Lens series, it carries the legacy of delivering superior cinematic quality. This lens is specifically engineered for cinema use, boasting an image circle that fully covers a full-frame sensor. Its all-metal, lightweight design sets it apart from its competitors, offering exceptional 6K image quality and impressive low-light performance.
The 135mm focal length of this lens is perfect for capturing stunning portrait shots, as it allows for working at a distance that eliminates distortion. Its narrow angle of view and large aperture work together to focus on the subject, creating a shallow depth of field that beautifully separates the foreground from the background. This gives cinematographers great creative control over their shots.
The XEEN 135mm T2.2 Pro Cine Lens also features an internal focus design that allows focusing down to 2.6 ft (0.6m). This design prevents the lens from changing in length while focusing, thus minimizing breathing.
Maintaining the key characteristics of the XEEN series, this lens has a uniform length and a 114mm non-rotating front diameter, making it compatible with matte boxes. It also offers full-frame coverage and an 11-blade diaphragm for pleasing bokeh.
This fast telephoto lens employs Rokinon's X-Coating Technology, ensuring high-quality footage with clear contrast, vibrant colors, and a cinematic look, even in less than optimal lighting conditions.
The mechanics and optics of the XEEN by Rokinon lens are meticulously manufactured and precision-assembled in Korea using cutting-edge techniques. This commitment to quality is backed by a three-year warranty, the longest in the industry, underscoring the brand's confidence in its product.
