Samyang expands their cinematic Xeen CF series

Samyang Xeen CF T2.2 135mm

The XEEN CF series was first introduced in late 2019 with a line-up consisting of 24, 50 and 85mm, all with aperture of T1.5. Since then, the series has grown and today Samyang introduces the new Xeen CF T2.2 135mm. 

CF stands for compact and flexible, which highlights the compact size and versatility of the lenses.

The goal when designing the Xeen CF lenses was to make a cinematic lens so small and compact as possible without compromise in any ways that would lower the quality.

The 135mm focal length is often chosen for portraits and close-ups. Thanks to the lightweight design

of the lens it is perfect for the modern filmmaker that wants to combine it with a camera on a gimbal or drone. With a lightweight lens, it becomes easier to balance a gimbal or drone and therefore increase battery and production time.

Xeen CF series comes with a great optical construction which minimizes focus breathing, supports 8K resolution and gives a cinematic look with outstanding detail reproduction. The great aperture of T2.2 delivers a beautiful bokeh, shallow depth of field and excellent low light performance. Featuring 11 rounded aperture blades, the lens produces a soft and dreamlike bokeh wide open and a crystal-clear crisp sharpness when stopped down.

It adds an artistic touch to the film and creates a sense of soft dimension with incredible bokeh, perfect for out-of-focus portrait.

Thanks to Samyang's unique X-coating, light reflections and ghosting effects are effectively minimized.

Pricing and delivery:

The new lens will start to ship in mid-September 2022.

Recommended selling price is EUR 2.109,90;-
