Wide-angle optics and image quality for 4K+

This lens offers an ultra wide 106.9° angle of view and is built with X-coating to manage reflections and improve contrast. As a result, the optical design supports high-resolution capture, making it suitable for modern 4K+ workflows while letting you emphasise composition and scene depth.

Designed for film use and robust handling

Samyang designed the XEEN line specifically for filmmakers. This 16mm lens features a 114mm front size and high-durability construction. The lens includes FFG and a declicked aperture for smooth iris control during recording. These design choices make the lens practical on set and reliable across shoots.

Consistent controls and flexible mounting

XEEN lenses use declicked gear rings placed in identical locations across the range. Therefore, swapping lenses becomes faster and more predictable when you change focal lengths. Furthermore, mounts are interchangeable, so each lens can be used on a variety of camera systems by fitting the appropriate mount.

Cinematic aperture and focus operation

The lens has a circular aperture with 11 blades, which helps produce natural out-of-focus highlights. It also offers a smooth focus ring for precise manual focusing. Together, these features support careful control over depth of field and focus transitions in narrative and documentary work.
