XEEN Meister Key Features
OUTSTANDING OPTICAL PERFORMANCE XEEN
Meister has outstanding resolution supporting 8K on full-frame cameras. The lenses have a unique technology that is based on X-coating and effectively controls the internal light reflections to create a distinctive look, with flare and ghosting for dramatic effects
FASTEST T1.3 FULL-FRAME CINE LENS
Uniformly color-matched throughout the entire range, these lenses boast a remarkable T1.3 aperture, contributing to exceptional low-light capabilities and heightened drama through an incredibly shallow depth of field. With 13 aperture blades, they craft a background that mimics nature and offers a soft, rounded bokeh, expertly capturing human emotions while providing a vivid depiction of the scene.
ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE
The lenses all cover full-frame and larger sensors and are designed for PL, Canon EF, and Sony Emount full-frame cameras. Each XEEN Meister lens features 300° of rotation for precise focus pulls and the 114mm standard front diameter size (only differs in 14mm) and the unified positions of the aperture and focus gear rings, making it easily attach and detach lens accessories such as Matte Box or Follow Focus. All scales, including focal length and aperture values, are on both sides of the lens and with a luminous font that glows in the dark, enabling convenient verification and operation, even in low-light environments.
LENS META DATA RECORDING
The PL mount version supports i Technology protocol, which enables the camera to automatically record the accurate lens metadata to make production and post-production more effective.
PREMIUM MATERIAL, PREMIUM DESIGN
XEEN Meister embodies the premium material and premium design, while also ensuring lightweight yet robust durability with the utilization of titanium in its barrel's front section.
