The Xeen Samyang Xeen 135mm T2.2 PL is a cinema lens designed for filmmakers who want a bright T2.2 aperture and optical performance suitable for 4K+ production. Use this lens to shape the Mise-en-scène and control depth of field while keeping professional handling and consistent lens mechanics across your kit.
The XEEN series prioritizes consistent ergonomics. Gear rings for focus and aperture sit in standardized positions across the range, making lens changes faster and less error-prone on set. Rings are declicked to allow smooth, silent aperture adjustment and to work seamlessly with follow-focus systems.
XEEN lenses feature interchangeable mounts. The Xeen 135mm is available with a PL mount option and the series supports five interchangeable mounts: PL, EF, F, E, and MFT. This interchangeability lets you adapt the lens to a variety of camera systems without changing the optical characteristics.
The lens provides calibrated focus scales that you can read in either metric or imperial units. The design keeps a consistent front diameter across the XEEN lineup, which simplifies the use of matte boxes, filters, and other front-of-lens accessories. Declicked gear rings make the lens compatible with follow-focus systems and enable smooth control over aperture and focus during takes.
