Our editorial take on the Rokinon Cine XEEN 85mm T1.5 Manual Lens for Canon EF-Mount
The Rokinon Cine XEEN 85mm T1.5 is a manual cinema lens designed for Canon EF-mount cameras. Part of Rokinon's XEEN cinema line, it offers a fast T1.5 aperture suitable for low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field control. The 85mm focal length is a classic choice for portraiture, interviews, and tight framing work in narrative and documentary filmmaking.
As a cinema lens, it features geared focus and aperture rings for follow-focus systems, along with standardized focus throw and front diameter across the XEEN lineup, making it compatible with professional cine rigs. The manual-only operation and EF mount provide broad compatibility with Canon DSLRs, mirrorless cameras (via adapter), and cinema cameras that accept EF glass. At $694 for a used unit in excellent condition, it represents an entry point into dedicated cinema glass for independent filmmakers and content creators building out a cine lens set.
