Xeen Meister 14mm T2.6 Sony E

Xeen Meister 14mm T2.6 Sony E – Superbright T2.6 full-frame cine prime supporting 8K

This Xeen Meister 14mm T2.6 is a full-frame cine prime designed for filmmaking. It delivers superbright performance at T2.6 and supports 8K resolution on full-frame cameras. The lens is available in Sony E mount for this listing, and the XEEN Meister family also offers PL and Canon EF mount options.

High-resolution optics and cinematic aperture

XEEN Meister lenses provide outstanding image resolution across the frame and support 8K full‑frame capture. This model features a T2.6 maximum aperture that allows for shooting in lower light while delivering a cinematic depth of field. In addition, the XEEN Meister line includes lenses with a very bright T1.3 aperture, which the manufacturer cites for excellent low‑light performance and extremely shallow depth of field when that option is used.

Lens metadata and production workflow

The XEEN Meister series supports the i/Technology protocol on PL mount lenses. When used in PL mount with compatible cameras, this protocol enables automatic recording of lens meta data. Consequently, you can streamline camera-side recording and make production and post‑production workflows more efficient by having accurate lens information embedded in the footage.

Built for durability and accessory compatibility

XEEN Meister adopts premium materials and a crafted design. The front section of the barrel uses titanium to increase durability. The lens keeps a 114mm standard front diameter, which helps when attaching matte boxes and other front accessories. In addition, the positions of the aperture and focus gear rings are unified across the series, so you can more easily attach and detach accessories such as follow focus units.

Controls and handling in low light

All scales, including focal length and aperture markings, are present on both sides of the lens. The markings use a luminous font that glows in the dark, so you can verify settings even in low light. The focus ring provides a 300° rotation angle, enabling fine, precise focus adjustments for critical shots.

Available mounts

This lens is offered in three mount options: PL, Canon EF, and Sony E. The listing here references the Sony E mount model. Note that i/Technology lens meta data support applies to PL mount only, per the manufacturer’s specification.
