Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Cinema Zoom Lens | EF Mount

The Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Lens merges the capabilities of Canon's EF lenses with the advanced features and performance characteristics of their CN-E series. It is specifically engineered for EF-mount cameras equipped with Super35 or APS-C sensors, offering an exceptionally versatile focal range of 18-80mm while ensuring a consistent T-stop of T4.4 (f/4) throughout its range. With a length of 7.2 inches and a weight of merely 2.65 pounds, this lens is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it an ideal choice for various production types, including narrative filmmaking and dynamic documentary shooting. Significantly, this lens marks Canon's inaugural cine-style offering that integrates image stabilization and autofocus capabilities when utilized with Cinema EOS cameras.

Canon has further increased the adaptability of this lens by incorporating a servo drive unit that is compatible with industry-standard lens controllers, such as the Canon broadcast ZSD-300D and FPD-400D, allowing for comprehensive control over zoom, focus, and iris settings. Additionally, users have the option to equip the lens with the ZSG-C10 Control Grip, which facilitates ENG-style lens operation. The grip receives power from compatible cameras through the EF mount. For those preferring non-servo zoom control, the lens is designed with cine-standard 0.8 mod gears and features a rubberized grip on the focus ring, ensuring a comfortable manual operation experience.
