Samyang Xeen 50mm T1.5 FF Cine, Canon EF

The light-sensitive Cinema Prime Lens 50 mm T1.5 XEEN is suitable for full-frame cameras, features internal focusing, and is versatile due to its normal focal length angle. Like all XEEN Cinema Prime lenses, the XEEN 50mm T1.5 resolves in 4K and has the same design as the other lenses in this line. This means that the length, housing diameter, and the fixed gear distance for the aperture and focus rings are exactly the same across all models. This allows for quick and easy lens changes, whether on a rig or tripod, even with a follow-focus system installed. As is customary with cinema lenses, this XEEN lens also features a stepless and continuously adjustable aperture with side-readable aperture values and distance scale, as well as gears for focusing with a follow focus.

Of course, the 50mm T1.5 XEEN can be used not only with cameras that have a full-frame sensor. Filming is also easily possible with Super 35 mm, APS-C, and APS-H camera sensors. The sharpness performance of this lens impresses even at fully opened aperture and can be precisely controlled over the 200° long focus.

The lens construction consists of 13 lenses in 12 groups, housed in a robust aluminum tube. The necessary adjustments on the follow-focus or aperture ring are, of course, stepless and can be attached to all follow-focus systems with a 0.8 mm gear. The 11 aperture blades of the 35mm cinema lens ensure an almost circular bokeh.
