Expand your filmmaking possibilities with the Xeen Samyang Xeen 20mm T1.9 PL. This cinema lens delivers a bright T1.9 aperture and optical performance designed for 4K+ capture. Use it to shape your mise-en-scène, work in low light, and maintain consistent operation across your lens set.
The Xeen 20mm T1.9 suits filmmakers and videographers who need a wide-angle cinema lens that performs well in challenging light. Because it offers calibrated focus and consistent physical layout, you can switch lenses quickly during shoots and keep follow-focus operation predictable across the set.
This lens features a bright aperture of T1.9, which helps in low-light situations and provides more control over depth of field. Its optical design targets outstanding performance for 4K and higher-resolution workflows, helping preserve sharpness and contrast in your images.
Xeen lenses use calibrated focus for accurate image reproduction. The focus and aperture gear rings sit in standardized positions, making lens changes smoother on set. In addition, the gear rings are declicked to work seamlessly with follow-focus systems, enabling fluid exposure adjustments and repeatable focus pulls.
The Xeen 20mm comes with interchangeable mounts. You can fit it to a variety of camera systems thanks to the five available mount options: PL, EF, F, E and MFT. This interchangeability increases the lens’s versatility across different camera bodies and production environments.
The lens uses a durable aluminum metal housing for reliable use during production. X-Coating Technology is applied to help maintain sharpness and contrast while controlling flare and reflections. The front diameter remains consistent across the XEEN series, which aids matte boxes and filters setup in professional cinema production.
Focus scales are calibrated and available in either metric or imperial units, giving you clear and repeatable reference marks for focus pulls and lens documentation. Standardized markings and the consistent front diameter simplify switching lenses and maintaining rigging across a full set.
