XEEN Anamorphic 50mm T2.3 – PL mount

The XEEN Anamorphic 50mm T2.3 is a 2x anamorphic cine lens by LK Samyang for high-end digital cinematography, covering full-frame sensors (Ø 43.2 mm image circle) on PL-mount cameras and suited to 4K/UHD and 8K. After de-squeezing it gives a 2.55:1 aspect ratio on a full-frame sensor, with a wide horizontal field of view and a vintage cinematic look. The newly developed iris has 15 blades for oval, evenly illuminated out-of-focus highlights; XEEN also points to low distortion, high contrast and precise colour rendition. This version has the PL mount, for cinema and video cameras with PL mount.

Carbon fibre is used in part of the body tube to keep it durable and lighter than an all-metal barrel. The 114 mm front diameter does not rotate and fits 4x5 matte boxes, the focus ring turns through 300° for fine focusing, and all scales are shown on both sides of the lens with luminous paint for work in the dark.
