XEEN 20mm T1.9 demonstrated at BVE Expo - with test shots

At the BVE show I had the chance to try out the new XEEN 20mm T1.9 cine lens. This is the latest in the Korean company’s full-frame lineup. Like other XEEN lenses it has smooth geared focus, iris and zoom rings and a metal construction. Even so it is still surprisingly lightweight,making it suitable for gimbal use.

From what I saw it looked like it resolved detail well in 4K and has some nice bokeh too. There are several test shots in the video (thanks to James Miller and Adrian Storey for shooting these).

For more info you can visit UK distributor Intro2020, or the XEEN website.
