Samyang Xeen CF 16mm T2.6 Sony E

The Samyang XEEN CF 16mm T2.6 Pro Cine Lens (E-Mount), in a Sony E-mount, features a lightweight carbon fibre housing and compact design while providing full-frame coverage for use with large sensor cameras. This lens supports resolutions up to 8K in a small and lightweight form, which is well suited for use with mechanical and electronic stabiliser systems, as well as for studio and location productions. The lenses in the XEEN CF series all benefit from X-Coating Technology, which provides the XEEN CF lenses with a distinct look. All lenses within the XEEN CF series are colour-matched to avoid shifts when swapping lenses, and the 11-blade iris allows for a natural-looking bokeh.

In addition to supporting 8K image capture, the lenses have been designed for ease of use while shooting, with each lens sharing the same 95mm outside front diameter and consistent lens gear positions for focus and iris gears. This makes for fast lens swaps when working with rod-mounted lens accessories. Accurate focus and iris scales on both sides of the lens make it easy for your assistant to work from either side of the camera, and the 200° focus rotation allows for accurate lens markings without having too long a throw. The lens markings are large and easy to read and use luminous paint, which helps when shooting in dim or dark environments.

Key Features:

• All the lenses in the XEEN CF series are tightly colour-matched to the X-Coating Technology standard, for minimal colour shift when switching between lenses.
• The lenses are colour-optimised to reproduce accurate skin tones.
• The X-Coating Technology coatings provide protection from flare and ghosting for good contrast.
• The 11-blade iris creates round out-of-focus highlights for an image with natural-looking bokeh.
• Accurate focus and iris marking on both sides of the lens help avoid the duck and dive of your camera assistants when they are on the wrong side of the camera and have to cheque or set the lens before rolling the shot.
• The proprietary X-Coating Technology provides a sharp image while helping to reduce flares and ghosting.
