The XEEN 85mm's 114mm filter thread, 200° focus throw, and de-clicked aperture make it a cinema-standard design: 114mm is the common cinema filter standard (Matte Box size), the 200° throw enables smooth focus pulls by a focus puller, and internal focus keeps the front element stationary for Matte Box stability. The T-stop rating (T1.5) measures actual light transmission through the glass.
On the used market the Rokinon XEEN 85mm T1.5 PL is available at professional cinema prime pricing. Condition checks: PL mount condition (wear marks from cinema rig use), 114mm filter ring condition, focus gear ring. Designed for cinema cameras with PL mount (ARRI, RED, Blackmagic); also available in Canon EF and other mounts.
