Samyang XEEN CF 85mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens (PL-Mount)

Overview

The Samyang XEEN CF 85mm T1.5 Pro Cine Lens is a full-frame cinema prime built in an ARRI PL mount for cameras capturing up to 8K resolution. Its lightweight carbon fiber housing keeps the lens compact enough for handheld work, gimbals and drones, while still delivering full frame coverage of large sensors for cinematographers who need consistent optical performance across a production. A fast T1.5 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and precise control over depth of field, making the 85mm well suited to close-up dialogue, portraiture and any scene that calls for a longer focal length with a shallow, cinematic look.

Beyond its optical performance, the lens incorporates Samyang's X-Coating Technology to control internal reflections and manage flares and ghosting for a distinctive, filmic look, and its 11-blade iris produces smooth, natural-looking bokeh. Dual calibrated distance and T-stop scales appear on both sides of the barrel in luminous markings for reliable use in dark environments, and the 95mm front diameter and geared 0.8 MOD focus and iris rings are shared across the wider XEEN CF range, so this 85mm lens is tightly color-matched and mechanically interchangeable with other focal lengths in the series.

X-Coating for Flare and Ghost Control

Samyang's X-Coating technology manages the reflection of light inside the lens, helping control ghosting and flares so you can either avoid them for clean, contrasty images or use them deliberately to create dramatic on-screen effects.

Dual-Side Distance and T-Stop Scales

• Bidirectional distance and T-stop scales on both sides of the lens for a more efficient focus pulling workflow.
• Luminous markings remain visible in dark shooting environments.
• 200° focus rotation and 40° iris rotation for smooth, geared control.

Shared 95mm Front Diameter Across the Series

The 85mm shares its 95mm front diameter, gear positions and overall color response with other lenses in the XEEN CF range, so cinematographers can swap focal lengths mid-production without reconfiguring matte boxes, filters or follow focus systems.
