XEEN Meister 35mm T1.3 Canon – Superbright T1.3 Full‑Frame Cine Prime Supporting 8K

The XEEN Meister 35mm T1.3 Canon is a superbright, full-frame cine prime designed for high-resolution filmmaking. It delivers T1.3 low-light performance, supports 8K full-frame cameras, and is available in PL, Canon EF, and Sony E mount options. The lens combines optical capability with practical features for production and post-production workflows.

Key optical performance

This lens offers outstanding resolution across the image frame and supports 8K capture on full-frame cameras. With a maximum aperture of T1.3, it enables shooting in low-light situations while producing an extremely shallow depth of field. The T1.3 aperture also helps create a cinematic look and allows you to emphasize subjects with pronounced separation from the background.

Bokeh and aperture design

The XEEN Meister uses 13 aperture blades to shape out-of-focus areas. As a result, the lens produces round, natural-looking bokeh that can help express delicate emotions in people and enrich the visual tone of a shot.

Metadata and mount compatibility

For PL mount versions, the lens supports the i/Technology protocol. This enables compatible cameras to automatically record accurate lens metadata, which helps streamline both production and post-production processes. The lens is also offered in Canon EF and Sony E mounts to suit different camera systems.

Build, ergonomics, and accessory compatibility

XEEN Meister applies premium materials and a refined design. The front barrel uses titanium to increase durability while maintaining a practical form factor. The lens features a standard 114mm front diameter and unified positions for the aperture and focus gear rings, making it easier to attach or detach accessories such as a matte box or a follow focus.

All scale markings, including focal length and aperture values, appear on both sides of the lens. The markings use a luminous font that glows in the dark, enabling quick verification and operation even in low-light conditions. In addition, the focus gear offers a 300° rotation angle to allow for fine, precise focus adjustments during shoots.
