Design and usability

The Xeen 35mm places focus and aperture gear rings in standardized, identical locations across the XEEN lineup. This design reduces setup time when you change lenses and makes lens swaps more predictable on set. In addition, declicked aperture and focus rings support smooth operation with follow-focus systems, giving you precise control during pulls and adjustments.

The lens housing uses aluminum metal for reliability and a professional feel. Calibrated focus scales are provided in either metric or imperial units, so you can work with the measurement system you prefer. The lens also maintains a consistent front diameter, which simplifies matte box and accessory choices across a production kit.
