The Samyang XEEN CF 16mm T2.6 Pro Cine Lens, in a Sony E-mount, features a lightweight carbon fiber 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 stabilizer 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 color-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.
