Overview

The Rokinon Xeen XN24-MFT 24mm T1.5 is a purpose-built cinema lens designed for professional video production on Micro Four Thirds camera systems. Unlike photography lenses adapted for video use, the Xeen is engineered from the ground up for cinematography — featuring a generous 200-degree focus throw for precise manual focusing, de-clicked aperture ring for smooth iris transitions during recording, and an 11-blade diaphragm that renders pleasing, circular bokeh. The T1.5 maximum aperture transmits ample light for shooting in challenging conditions while providing the shallow depth of field that gives cinematic footage its distinctive look.

Built with a durable aluminum housing, the lens weighs 2.7 lbs and shares a unified 114mm front diameter with every other lens in the Xeen lineup. This standardization means a single matte box, follow focus, and lens support setup works across all focal lengths without readjustment — a practical advantage that saves significant time during production. The focus and aperture gear rings are positioned identically across Xeen lenses as well, further streamlining lens swaps. On the MFT mount, the 24mm focal length yields a 14.4-degree angle of view (approximately 48mm full-frame equivalent), positioning it as a standard to short telephoto perspective rather than a true wide angle on this sensor format.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 200-degree focus throw allows precise, smooth focus pulls essential for professional cinema work
  • Unified 114mm front diameter and gear positions across all Xeen lenses speed up lens changes on set
  • 11-blade diaphragm produces smooth, rounded bokeh at wider apertures
  • Durable aluminum construction withstands the demands of professional production environments
  • T1.5 maximum aperture provides strong low-light performance and shallow depth of field control

👎 Cons

  • Fully manual with no electronic autofocus or aperture control, requiring experienced operators
  • 2x crop factor on MFT narrows the effective field of view to a 48mm equivalent, losing the wide-angle perspective
  • At 2.7 lbs, it is significantly heavier than native MFT lenses and may unbalance smaller camera rigs
  • No weather sealing, limiting use in adverse outdoor shooting conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

This specific model (XN24-MFT) is built for the Micro Four Thirds mount, fitting cameras from Panasonic, Blackmagic, and other MFT-compatible cinema and mirrorless camera bodies.
On an MFT sensor with its 2x crop factor, the 24mm focal length produces a 14.4-degree angle of view, equivalent to approximately a 48mm lens on a full-frame camera.
T-stops measure the actual amount of light transmitted through the lens, accounting for light lost within the optics. This is standard in cinema work because it ensures consistent exposure when cutting between different lenses in a scene, which F-stops cannot guarantee.
Yes. All Xeen lenses share a unified 114mm front diameter, which means you can use a single standard matte box across the entire lens set without readjusting between lens changes — a significant time saver on set.
No. The Xeen 24mm is a fully manual cine lens with no electronic contacts. Focus, aperture, and all adjustments are controlled mechanically via the lens rings.
