SAMYANG XEEN 16mm T2.6 - Prime cinema and video lens
The Samyang XEEN 16MM T2.6 is a Full Frame lens designed specifically for cinema, compatible with APS-C, APS-H, and Super 35 sensors. This camera lens model has a prime focal length of 16mm, with an aperture of T2.6. Its 11 diaphragm blades allow for a pleasing bokeh effect. Thanks to its inner focusing design, the lens does not change lenght while focusing, minimizing the breathing effect during focus shift. Available for EF, PL, E, F and MFT mounts. The entire range of XEEN series lenses have been manufactured with color homogeneity in mind, conforming to the Samyang X-Coating lens treatment technology standard.
The Samyang XEEN 16mm T2.6 are professional Full-Frame cinema lenses specially designed for film and high quality video production, including 4K.
Their rugged metal body and aluminum housing are designed to withstand the challenging shooting schedules. They feature X-Coating lens treatment technology, giving images professional clarity and detail, which can be effectively controlled to create a distinctive, smooth, cinematic look (even with flare and ghosting for dramatic effects), and offering minimal color variations between all lenses in the series. The maximum aperture of T2.6, combined with the 11-blade apertue, produces excellent low-light performance and beautiful bokeh.
All lenses in the XEEN series are available with EF, PL, E, F and MFT mounts.
The Samyang XEEN 16mm T2.6 lens, like the rest of its series, has been designed to speed up shooting times, as they share the same 114mm front diameter and the same distance between the focus and iris rings, making it easy to switch between lenses, without the need to modify accessories such as Matte Box or Follow Focus. They also have double-sided focus and iris scales, making them easy to use. Thanks to its internal focusing design, the lens does not change lenght while focusing, minimizing the breathing effect during focus change.
Other features include: focus scales calibrated in metric or imperial units, smooth and precise manual control, all to give the professional user a sense of reliability and security.
The XEEN series also aims to offer unparalleled performance, at economical prices, to meet the needs of cameramen and movie directors, regardless of situation or equipment
