Complete set with all six XEEN CF Cine lenses in a case
For professionals, but also XEEN aficionados, we offer a complete set of all six XEEN CF focal lengths plus a transport case. This way, the lenses all fit together in a safe, lockable place and are always ready for action. The lenses will still be delivered in their individual boxes.
XEEN CF Cinema Lenses:
Innovations, novelties and proven concepts
The XEEN CF series of XEEN cine lenses is characterised by the surprisingly small dimensions of the individual lenses and their extremely low weight. With approximately 40% less volume and 20-30% less weight than previous lenses, the XEEN CF cine lenses open up completely new possibilities for filmmakers. Samyang's XEEN CF lenses are the first cine lenses in the world to use a carbon fiber lens barrel - hence the name: Carbon Fiber. Their absolutely high-quality craftsmanship combined with their low weight are a big plus for the XEEN CF lenses.
8K resolution, Full Frame Image Circle
The XEEN CF lenses provide 8K resolution and an image circle of 43.3mm. This means that these lenses can be used on full-frame cameras as well as on professional cine cameras such as the ARRI Alexa and Alexa Mini, the Canon EOS C700, the Sony Venice or the RED Helium or Dragon. Cameras with larger sensors like the ARRI Alexa LF and the RED Monstro can use the XEEN CF lenses in most modes, except fully in Open Gate. The XEEN CF lenses can of course be used on smaller sensors like APS-C and APS-H just as well.
Many options
The XEEN CF lenses are available with PL, Canon EF and Sony E Mount. The variable look of the image is another characteristic of the versatility of these lenses: when the aperture is open, you get the typical soft look of vintage lenses, often referred to as "creamy": warm, balanced skin tones, gentle bokeh and subtle, harmonious halations. At smaller apertures, the image becomes clear and "crisp": crystal clear contrasts and sharpness right into the corners allow you to capture realistic and "cool" images. In combination with ND filters, completely different looks are possible with just one lens.
As usual with cine lenses, the XEEN CF lens also features distance and aperture values that can be read from both sides as well as gear rings for the steplessly adjustable aperture and the smooth, precise focusing with Follow Focus. With a diameter of only 95 mm, the diameter of the lens has also shrunk considerably. This is why the price-performance ratio of XEEN CF lenses is excellent.
Ready for every shoot
Details such as the luminescent lettering on both sides of the lens barrel make working on the set much easier. The gear rings for the Follow Focus systems are slightly wider than in the classic XEEN lenses, the teeth higher and with rounded corners. All XEEN CF lenses are internally focusing and and very versatile.
All XEEN CF Cinema lenses offer a resolution of 8K. The front diameter of 95 mm and the position of the aperture and focus ring are exactly the same on all XEEN CF lenses. This means that changing lenses, whether in rig or on a tripod, is quick and easy, even with a Follow Focus System or a Matte Box installed.
Also, the XEEN CF lenses also feature a steplessly adjustable aperture, distance and aperture scales on both sides of the lens as well as gear rings for focusing with Follow Focus and for changing the aperture. With a diameter of only 95 mm, the diameter of the lens has also shrunk considerably. The XEEN CF lenses therefore offer an excellent price-performance ratio.
Usage and quality
This lens range is also ideally suited for use on gimbals, drones or car rigs. The focusing performance is outstanding, even when the aperture is fully open. It can be precisely controlled via the 200° focus throw.
Transport and starage case:
A safe place for your XEEN CF lenses
With the XEEN CF lens case from SKB iSeries you can store and transport your XEEN CF Cine lenses safely everywhere! The sturdy hard shell case is equipped with a custom-fit inlay made of hard foam (Plastazote LD29) that securely holds the lenses. The lid contains classic wavy foam. The case itself is made of an impact-resistant polypropylene copolymer compound. This plastic was specially created to meet the requirements of such containers. The rubberized, foldable carrying handle is comfortable even when fully loaded.
Stable, safe and resilient
The lens case is sealed waterproof and dustproof (standards MIL-C-4150J / IP67), shockproof and scratchproof as well as resistant to UV radiation, solvents, corrosion and mould (standard MIL-STD-810F). The two hinges are well protected and therefore break-resistant. Should the fully loaded case fall into water, it will float. Metal-reinforced eyelets in the case provide space for two padlocks with shackle thickness up to 7 mm, with which the case can be securely locked (not included).
Comfortable to use
Sophisticated design meets smart comfort: Nothing was left to chance with the XEEN CF lens case. For example, a pressure compensation valve ensures that changes in air pressure are also passed on to the inside of the case (standard MIL-STD-648C). Also remarkable: The shutters have a clamp mechanism that not only secures them against unintentional opening, but can also be operated completely silently. This is an important detail especially on a film set. The rubberized folding carrying handle makes it possible to carry the lens case comfortably even over longer distances. Several cases of this kind are stable stackable. The case is also stable enough for an adult person to sit on. The matt black surface is easy to clean, if necessary you can hose down the case with a garden hose.
Fits perfectly for XEEN CF
The inlay, which is permanently attached to the case, has been manufactured with millimeter precision for the XEEN CF Cine lenses. It holds the complete set of cine lenses, consisting of the focal lengths 16 mm, 24 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm and 135 mm. The case measures 50.5 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm and weighs 3.97 kg empty.
