Rokinon Xeen 85mm T1.5 Lens for Canon EF
Rokinon crafts the Xeen 85mm T1.5 Lens for Canon EF Mount as a dedicated cinema lens. Unlike modified still lenses, it excels in video. For instance, internal focus keeps size constant. Thus, breathing minimizes during shots. Moreover, multi-coatings boost contrast and cut glare. Colors match factory standards too. So, you build sets with minimal shifts over time. This 85mm suits portraits and close-ups perfectly.
Key Features and Controls
Dual-sided focus scales mark feet clearly. Iris scales appear on both sides as well. Additionally, the 11-bladed iris creates rounded apertures. Therefore, you get natural highlights and bokeh. You control focus and iris manually—no auto features. Cinema gears align across Xeen lenses consistently. The 114mm front diameter also speeds matte box changes. Plus, the focus ring rotates 200° from close to infinity. Hence, precision thrives.
Sensor Coverage and Build
This 85mm lens covers full-frame sensors fully. It compresses backgrounds effectively. Cinematographers often choose it for portraits. Metal construction withstands production demands. A support foot further reduces mount strain.
Workflow Benefits
Dual scales let focus pullers work from either side. No flipping occurs. Xeen series shares gear positions seamlessly. Therefore, lens swaps happen fast without motor adjustments. The 114mm front skips donut swaps too. Non-rotating design supports clip-on matte boxes. Clickless iris ensures smooth pulls. Minimum focus reaches 3’9″. Approach subjects confidently.
