Xeen Samyang Xeen Meister 35mm T1.3 PL

Xeen Samyang Xeen Meister 35mm T1.3 PL – Superbright T1.3 Full-Frame Cine Prime Supporting 8K

The Xeen Samyang Xeen Meister 35mm T1.3 is a superbright full-frame cine prime built for high-resolution filmmaking. It delivers unprecedented resolution across the image and supports 8K capture on full-frame cameras. The lens aims to offer strong low-light performance and cinematic shallow depth of field with a fast T1.3 aperture.

High-resolution imaging and low-light capability

The XEEN Meister series provides outstanding resolution that supports 8K on full-frame sensors. Because the 35mm model features a T1.3 maximum aperture, you can shoot in lower-light situations while preserving image quality. In addition, the bright T1.3 aperture helps create an extremely shallow depth of field to emphasize subject separation and cinematic looks.

Bokeh, aperture and focus control

The lens uses 13 aperture blades to produce natural-looking, round bokeh. This design contributes to pleasing background rendering and helps express subtle emotions in portrait and narrative work. Meanwhile, a wide 300° focus gear rotation gives you fine, precise control when pulling focus during critical shots.

Build, handling and accessory compatibility

XEEN Meister adopts premium materials and finishes. The front barrel includes titanium, making the front part of the barrel more durable. The lens has a 114mm standard front diameter and unified positions for the aperture and focus gear rings. As a result, you can easily attach and detach common accessories such as matte boxes and follow focus systems.

Metadata support and practical design details

The PL mount option supports the i/Technology protocol, enabling cameras to automatically record accurate lens metadata. This feature streamlines production and post-production workflows by making lens information available directly in camera files. Additionally, all scales — including focal length and aperture values — appear on both sides of the lens. The scales use a luminous font that glows in the dark, so you can verify settings even in low-light environments.
