The Rokinon Xeen 16mm T2.6 for Sony E is a budget-friendly, ultra-wide angle, true cinema lens for Sony E-mount cameras and camcorders. Key features include:
Sony E Mount. We carry Rokinon Xeen lenses in several different mounts. This is the Sony E-mount version.
Ultra-Wide Angle Prime. The Rokinon Xeen 16mm T2.6 offers full-frame coverage, giving you a budget-friendly ultra-wide cine lens with a 106° angle of view. This angle of view is reduced on smaller-format cameras. Its relatively fast T2.6 aperture allows some depth-of-field control and flexibility to shoot in moderately low light.
4K+ Resolving Power. Keeping with the market, the Xeen lenses support 4K+ capture. Their optics are largely the same as the Rokinon Cine DS line of lenses; however, additional multi-coatings have been applied to ensure consistent and accurate color when switching lenses to another in the Xeen line.
True Cinema Lens. It’s true that the Xeen lenses share similarities with the Cine DS lenses, but they differ in that they provide the build and performance you’d expect from a true cinema lens. Their aluminum housings with calibrated, 0.8 pitch geared focus and iris rings offer buttery-smooth operation. Dual-scale markings, standardized ring position, and uniformity in physical size across the lineup enable consistency for rigging out your setup with follow focuses and matte boxes.
Fully Manual. This lens provides no electronic communication with the camera. All aperture and focus adjustments must be made manually on the lens itself. The aperture you select won’t be displayed on the camera, and it won’t show up in the EXIF data.
