Samyang's XEEN CF cinema wide-angle for Sony FE — the 24mm T1.5 in carbon fibre housing.
The Samyang XEEN CF 24mm T1.5 is a premium cinema wide-angle prime from the XEEN CF carbon fibre series for Sony FE mount. At 24mm T1.5, it provides a fast wide-angle perspective for establishing shots, interiors, and low-light cinema work. The carbon fibre housing reduces weight while maintaining cinema-grade precision and durability.
Optical performance is excellent — XEEN quality with improved CF-series coatings. Sharpness is very good from T1.5. Focus breathing is well-controlled. The 24mm perspective is essential for cinema — wide enough for establishing shots, narrow enough to avoid extreme distortion. Colour rendering matches across the XEEN CF set for consistent post-production.
Sony FE mount. The 95mm front diameter matches all XEEN CF lenses for consistent matte box use. Weight is approximately 850 grams — lighter than metal-housed equivalents. Build quality is premium cinema-grade carbon fibre with geared rings and luminous markings. Manual focus — standard for cinema. The FE mount suits Sony cinema cameras.
