Samyang/Rokinon are Coming Out with a Set of True Cine Prime Lenses1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSamyang/Rokinon are well-established for their affordable low-end full-frame 35mm cine primes.
But now they’re looking to take on the likes of Zeiss, Canon, and Schneider with true cine lenses that can cover full-frame/Vista Vision (but for less money than those others).
The company is expected to announce next week a new set of primes by the name of XEEN, and they look to be a much higher end product than what it currently offers. It looks like the new set, when formally announced on August 10, will consist of three lenses: a 24mm, 50mm, and 85mm, all with a constant aperture of T/1.5.
We’ve also got more info from another source that these will have metal bodies, consistent focus marks (with unified focus/apertures positions), unified 114mm front diameters, 11 bladed aperture, and much longer focus throws than the previous set of cine primes. Also it looks like they will weigh in around the 2.5 pounds or so each.
