Xeen Samyang Xeen Meister 50mm T1.3 Canon – Superbright T1.3 Full-Frame Cine Prime Supporting 8K

The Xeen Samyang Xeen Meister 50mm T1.3 Canon is a superbright full-frame cine prime designed for filmmakers who need high resolution and strong low-light performance. It supports 8K full-frame cameras and offers a fast T1.3 aperture that delivers a cinematic shallow depth of field and natural-looking bokeh.

High-resolution optics for 8K production

XEEN Meister lenses deliver outstanding resolution across the image field and explicitly support 8K on full-frame cameras. As a result, you can rely on this 50mm prime to capture fine detail required by high-resolution workflows. The lens positions itself as the fastest full-frame cine prime at T1.3, enabling both expressive shallow focus and improved low-light shooting.

Optical characteristics and image rendering

The wide T1.3 aperture creates an extremely shallow depth of field, which helps maximize dramatic effects in narrative and portrait work. In addition, the lens uses 13 aperture blades to produce a natural-looking background and round bokeh. This rendering supports subtle emotional expression in close-ups and richly depicts the subject within the frame.

Design, durability and accessory compatibility

XEEN Meister adopts premium materials and a crafted design. The front barrel uses titanium, improving durability while maintaining a refined build. The lens shares a 114mm standard front diameter and unified positions for the aperture and focus gear rings. Therefore, you can attach and detach accessories such as a matte box or follow focus more easily during production.

Practical controls for production environments

All scales, including focal length and aperture values, appear on both sides of the lens. Furthermore, these scales use a luminous font that glows in the dark, so you can verify settings and operate the lens even in low-light conditions. The focus gear offers a wide 300° rotation angle, allowing fine and precise focus adjustments for critical pulls.

Mount options and metadata support

The lens comes in three mount options: PL, Canon EF, and Sony E. Additionally, when fitted with the PL mount, XEEN Meister supports the i/Technology protocol. This enables compatible cameras to automatically record accurate lens metadata, which can streamline production and post-production workflows.
