Optics manufacturer Rokinon has released three new prime Xeen Cine Lenses for Canon EF, Nikon F, Micro Four Thirds, Sony E and PL mounts: the Rokinon Xeen 24mm T1.5, Rokinon Xeen 50mm T1.5 and Rokinon Xeen 85mm T1.5.

These new lenses go above and beyond what Rokinon has traditionally offered, with a much more premium looking aesthetic and better feature set.

All three of the lenses feature an internal focus mechanism, 11-blade aperture iris, multiple coatings on the elements for color consistency and cinema gears for focusing and aperture control, which are aided by dual side focus and T-stop scales.

Rokinon simplifies the new lens lineup by offering all designs and mounts at the same $2495 price point. They are set to go on sale later this week. If you’d like to pre-order the lenses, you can do so using the links below:
