Korean manufacturer Samyang Optics, a global optical brand distributed exclusively by Holdan in the UK and Ireland, announces the new XEEN CF 135mm T2.2 lens, designed for PL, Canon EF and Sony E mount full-frame cameras and priced at £1,716 (€1,991) plus VAT.
The XEEN CF line-up now comprises 6 of the most-used focal lengths: 16mm T2.6, 24mm T1.5, 35mm T1.5, 50mm T1.5, 85mm T1.5, and NEW 135mm T2.2. Each lens boasts fast T stop values, excellent image quality and enhanced user-friendly features.
David Fidler, Divisional Director, Holdan, commented:
The introduction of the XEEN CF 135mm expands creative freedom with a long tele focal length choice in the lightweight CF range. Now with a comprehensive set of 6 fast lenses, they make a more versatile choice than ever
Carbon fibre is lightweight without sacrificing durability. The lens is designed to be small and light so it can be mounted on numerous cameras and used in a variety of environments.
The lens has outstanding resolution, capable of supporting a large image sensor up to 8K. It also offers beautiful bokeh with a bright T2.2 aperture, maximising the emotions of an image while richly depicting the shot.
Samyang’s proprietary X-Coating technology controls the reflection of light inside the lens itself to create a distinctive look, properly utilising flares and ghosting to create dramatic effects.
The front aperture (95mm), focus and aperture ring gear positions are unified, making it easy to attach and detach lens accessories such as matte box and follow-focus. In addition, the ultra-bright luminous font is convenient for use in dark environments.
The entire XEEN CF range will be on show at the IBC exhibition in Amsterdam, Netherlands from 9th to 12th September 2022, booth number 12.G44.
