ROKINON has announced its new line of XEEN CF Professional Cine Lenses. Building on the exceptional value, features and performance of the XEEN by ROKINON system introduced in 2015, the new XEEN CF Professional Cine lenses offer additional size, weight and feature benefits.

The XEEN CF lenses reflect the trend towards more compact, lightweight, and high definition video equipment. They are the first full frame cine lenses to utilize carbon fiber for a future oriented design and appearance. With an average weight of only 2.1 lb/.93kg and length of 3.6″/90.5mm in PL mount for the 24mm, 50mm, and 85mm models, they offer exceptional compatibility and flexible operation with equipment such as drones and gimbals.

ROKINON XEEN CF lenses support the large image sensors and 8K capability of the latest cinema cameras. The unique X-coating technology, optical design, bright T1.5 aperture, and 11 blade diaphragm can be effectively controlled to create distinctive looks, produce excellent low light performance and beautiful bokeh.


Additional new features are a smaller common front diameter of 95mm for easy use with matte boxes and luminous glow-in-the-dark markings for easy operation in low-light conditions. True cine lens features include unified focus and aperture gear positions for easier follow focus use, tight color matching, dual calibrated right and left side distance and T-stop scales and incredibly smooth movement of the geared focusing and aperture controls.

The ROKINON XEEN CF 24mm T1.5, 50mm T1.5, and 85mm T1.5 are available for preorder for November 2019 delivery in PL, Sony E, and Canon EF mounts followed by the 16mm T2.6 and 35mm T1.5 in 2020.

“…Now we have a smaller profile much lighter… with the same amount of speed… I recommend these XEEN CF lenses to anyone looking for a lightweight, very fast, and very small profile motion picture lens… These lenses cover the bigger sensors, and cover them well…”

“…Compared to the older previous line of XEEN lenses, these lenses are considerably smaller, and considerably lighter, yet the optical performance is better than the previous series… They actually have a variable look… If you shoot them at a 2.8, they look like very sharp contrasty lenses, if you start to open them to a 2, they start to look softer, a little bit nicer for skin tones, you shoot them wide open, they’re absolutely gorgeous and creamy…”
