The Rokinon XEEN 14mm T3.1 is a manual-focus, manual-iris cinema prime for full-frame cameras, with an extremely wide field of view. Its internal focus design keeps the barrel length fixed while focusing, which limits breathing. All XEEN lenses share the same gear positions and a 114mm front diameter, so a matched set swaps quickly on a matte box. It suits indie and documentary shooters who want a wide cinema prime with geared rings and color-matched glass, but it has no autofocus or auto iris and is heavy, so it is not a run-and-gun stills lens.

Owners of the XEEN line treat the 14mm as a solid wide prime for the money, valuing the geared rings, long focus throw and color match across the set. Some note it is big and heavy and that the extreme width needs care with distortion.
The XEEN 14mm T3.1 is a manual-focus cinema lens with an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor. On full-frame cameras it gives an extremely wide angle of view, and on smaller formats the view is tighter. It has no auto focus or auto iris.
The lens has an all-metal body and an internal focus design, so it does not change size while focusing. This limits focus breathing. Multi-coating with XEEN X-Coating technology controls contrast and glare, and the color is matched to a factory standard so lenses in the XEEN set can be combined with minimal color shift. A 9-bladed iris gives a rounded aperture for natural-looking highlights and bokeh.
The focus ring turns 200° from close focus to infinity, and the de-clicked aperture ring allows smooth iris pulls. Focus and T-stop scales are printed on both sides of the lens, so a focus puller can work from either side. Cinema-style focus and iris gears sit in the same positions across the XEEN lenses. The non-rotating 114mm front diameter allows quick lens changes with a matte box or focus accessories, and works with optional clip-on matte boxes.
