Product details
XEEN CF series of XEEN Cine lenses features surprisingly compact dimensions and extremely low weight. With approximately 40% less volume and 20-30% less weight compared to previous lenses, filmmakers are presented with entirely new possibilities. As the world's first Cine lenses, the CF lenses utilize a carbon fiber lens cylinder, hence the name: Carbon Fiber. The high-quality craftsmanship combined with low weight is a significant advantage of the XEEN CF lenses.
8K Resolution, Full-Frame Image Circle
The XEEN CF lenses deliver 8K resolution and an image circle of 43.3 mm. This means that full-frame cameras can utilize these lenses, as well as professional cine cameras like the ARRI Alexa and Alexa Mini, Canon EOS C700, Sony Venice, or RED Helium and Dragon. Cameras with larger sensors, such as the ARRI Alexa LF and RED Monstro, can use the XEEN CF lenses in most modes, though not fully in Open Gate. Smaller sensors like APS-C and APS-H can also be used with the XEEN CF lenses.
Versatile Options
The XEEN CF lenses are available with PL, Canon EF, and Sony E mounts. The variable look of the image is another feature highlighting the versatility of these lenses: at wide open aperture, you achieve the typically soft vintage look of older lenses, often referred to as "creamy": warm, balanced skin tones, gentle bokeh, and subtle, harmonious highlights. At smaller apertures, the image becomes clear and "crisp": crystal-clear contrasts and sharpness extending to the corners allow for capturing sober, cool, and objective images. Thus, completely different looks are achievable with just one lens when combined with ND filters.
