XEEN Meister 85mm T1.3 – Canon EF mount

XEEN Meister 85mm T1.3 – Canon EF mount

The XEEN Meister 85mm T1.3 is a premium cinema prime lens of the XEEN Meister series by Samyang, made for full-frame cameras (43.2 mm image circle) with resolution for 8K. The fast T1.3 aperture gives very shallow depth of field and good low-light performance, the 13-blade iris produces round bokeh and the X-Coating controls internal reflections, flare and ghosting. The Meister lenses are colour-matched across the range. This version has the Canon EF mount, for Canon EOS DSLR cameras.

The front part of the barrel is made of titanium. The 114 mm front diameter and the unified positions of the focus and iris gear rings make it easy to fit a matte box or follow focus. Scales are on both sides of the lens with luminous paint, and the focus ring rotates through 300° for fine focus adjustment. In the PL version the lens supports the /i Technology protocol, so the camera can record lens metadata automatically.
