Samyang's XEEN 50mm T1.5 Lens is built specifically for use as a cinema lens. It features an internal focus design so that the lens does not change size while focusing, minimizing the appearance of breathing when changing focus. Each lens in the set is multi-coated for good contrast, glare prevention, and color match to a factory standard, allowing you to assemble a set over time with minimal color shift. This 50mm lens provides what is considered a somewhat wide angle of view on full-frame cameras, and a tighter angle of view on smaller formats.

The lens features dual-sided focus scales marked in feet, with dual-sided iris scales. The 11-bladed iris provides a rounded aperture for natural looking highlights and bokeh. The lens is a manual focus and iris lens, and does not have auto focus or auto iris capability. It incorporates cinema-style focus and iris gears that share the same position across the lenses in the XEEN set. The common 114mm front diameter allows for quick lens changes when using a matte box and focus accessories. The focus ring rotates 200° from close focus to infinity. This gives you a high degree of precision when adjusting focus.

  • This 50mm lens has an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor
  • The lens features metal construction and it incorporates a support that can help take strain off your camera's lens port
  • Dual right and left side focus and t-stop scales allow your focus puller to work from either side of the lens

  • The common 114mm front diameter allows for quick lens changes

Can't beat it for the money

Finally got a chance to use this lens on a project and wow, it works fantastic. Very little focus breathing, which was the main reason I wanted to upgrade my lens kit a bit. Worth it!

Incredible Lenses

I have been using the Xeens for a few months now and they are brilliant. Incredible bokeh and wonderful fall off. They are super high quality and well built. Cannot recommend enough.Pros:- super smooth focus throws- really fast T1.5- amazingly built- great color reproduction- interchangeable lens mounts (through dealer)Cons:- expensive (cheap comparative to other cinema lenses)

Identical in feel to a Zeiss CP.2

I am a professional cinematographer and have used lenses with values into the six figures. I know what a quality lens looks and feels like. This lens feels like a Zeiss CP.2. In fact, it seems to be an exact clone. The only difference is Rokinon doesn't advertise these as being interchangeable lens mounts but from looking at it it seems like you could change the mount just like on a CP.2 if you had a lens mount kit.Anyway, the focus and iris barrels feel very smooth. Not too firm and not too loose. Again, almost identical in feel to a Zeiss CP.2.Another aspect of a good cinema lens is calibration of the focus and t stop scales. While I haven't had a chance to check the focus scales I did check the T stops and compared them against my Canon 50mm 1.2L. Wide open at F1.2, the Canon is about a stop brighter than the Xeen at T1.5, which is to be expected. Once you stop down to T2 and beyond the exposure levels match up perfectly to the same F stop on the Canon.Lastly, what I like about this lens is it looks very professional and doesn't say Rokinon anywhere on it. Your clients will never guess you are using a low budget made in Korea lens. While I wont use this lens to shoot anything I can afford to rent nice glass for, I'll definitely use it for the lower budget jobs I would normally have used my Canon L glass for.I'll hope to update this review with a report on the focus scales and color matching between lenses once I get the other two in the set.
