Shane Hurlbut, ASC has made a series of reviews regarding Xeen lenses by comparing them to the Canon cinema lenses and even to Cooke (for reference see below the Xeen 24mm Lens Review). The results demonstrate that the Xeen has a huge potential by delivering beautiful results in term of flaring, bokeh, image quality and structure.

The 16mm lens provides what is considered a very wide angle of view on full-frame cameras, and a correspondingly tighter angle of view on smaller-format cameras. The 11-bladed iris provides a rounded aperture for a natural looking highlights and Bokeh. The focus ring rotates 200° from close focus to infinity, which allows the high degree of precision when adjusting focus. The lens mount can be shimmed, and additional mounts (available separately) may be used with the lens. This is a 16mm lens that has an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor.
