Description
The Samyang XEEN 135mm T2.2 PL Full Frame lens is a robust and optically superior prime lens, meticulously engineered for the rigorous demands of professional filmmaking, particularly excelling in telephoto compression and achieving dramatic subject isolation. Boasting a fast T2.2 aperture, it is perfectly suited for low-light conditions and excels at creating strikingly shallow depth of field. The lens incorporates an 11-bladed iris, which forms a beautifully rounded aperture for natural-looking highlights and creamy, smooth bokeh. A core design principle is its internal focus mechanism, ensuring the lens’s physical length remains constant during focusing, virtually eliminating focus breathing—a crucial advantage for precise rack focusing without image shift.
Designed for ultimate efficiency on any set, this lens integrates seamlessly into established professional workflows. It features cinema-standard unified focus and iris gears, meaning their positions are consistent across the entire XEEN series, allowing follow focus units and motors to remain in place when swapping lenses, thus saving valuable production time. With a generous 200° focus throw, it facilitates incredibly precise and repeatable focus pulls. Furthermore, the lens’s advanced multi-coated optics guarantee consistent color rendition, high contrast, and exceptional clarity, delivering stunning resolution capable of meeting the demands of 8K capture. Its durable, high-quality construction ensures unwavering reliability in the most challenging production environments. This makes it an ideal choice if you’re looking to rent cinema lens 135mm for your next project, offering unparalleled performance as a premium telephoto lens rental option.”
