Elite Brands Inc., announced the immediate availability of the new XEEN by Rokinon 16mm T2.6 Professional Cine Lens. The introduction of the 16mm grows the XEEN by Rokinon Professional Cine Lens System to 7 Full Frame models consisting of:
14mm T3.1 • 16mm T2.6 • 24mm T1.5 • 35mm T1.5 • 50mm T1.5 • 85mm T1.5 • 135mm T2.2
Positioned in between the 14mm T3.1 and the 24mm T1.5, the new Xeen by Rokinon 16mm T2.6 is a faster super wide angle with shallower depth of field capability as compared to the 14mm.
Traditional professional cinema lens features have not been overlooked as the 16mm, like all XEEN’s, offers a uniform 114mm NonRotating Front Diameter for easy use with Matte Boxes, consistent focus/aperture ring placement, and standard 0.8 Cine Pitch gearing for fast lens swaps when using follow focus devices. It’s available in PL mount as well as Canon, Nikon, Sony E, and MFT, and accessory mount kits are available to switch mounts if required.
The new 16mm T2.6 maintains all the characteristics of the Xeen by Rokinon Professional Cine Lens system, including Full Frame Coverage, an all metal design that typically weighs less than the competition and an 11 blade diaphragm for pleasing bokeh. Proprietary XEEN X-Coating Technology is employed to ensure maximum image quality with a cinematic look even under lessthan-optimal lighting conditions. All the above, outstanding optical performance and high resolving power combine to enable 6K production of video and cinema.
