Samyang XEEN CF 135mm T2.2
Sony E, APS-C / DX, full sizeProduct details
Many new features - Proven optimized
The XEEN CF series of XEEN Cine lenses is characterized by the surprisingly small dimensions of each lens and their 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 absolutely 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 use these lenses, as well as professional Cine cameras like the ARRI Alexa and Alexa Mini, the Canon EOS C700, the Sony Venice, or the RED Helium and Dragon. Cameras with larger sensors such as the ARRI Alexa LF and the RED Monstro can utilize 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 light spots within it. At smaller apertures, the image becomes clear and "crisp": crystal-clear contrasts and sharpness to the corners allow for capturing sober, cool, and objective images. Therefore, completely different looks are achievable with just one lens when combined with ND filters.
Ready for any shoot
Details like the dual-sided luminescent markings on the lens provide additional functionality.
