Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 EF Compact-Servo Cinema Zoom Lens with SS-41-IASD Kit
Under the umbrella of professional video equipment, the CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 EF Compact-Servo Cinema Zoom Lens with SS-41-IASD Kit stands out as a versatile and high-performing tool for cinematographers. Its compact size (3.68" W x 4.22" H x 7.18" L) and lightweight design (2.65 lbs.) enhance mobility and facilitate a variety of shooting styles, opening up a new realm of creative possibilities.This lens is specifically engineered for video shooting, making it an excellent upgrade for cinematographers transitioning from Canon EF lenses. It seamlessly integrates the functionality of EF lenses with the superior 4K optical performance and usability of Canon Cinema lenses. The lens features full external servo control for precise zoom, focus, and iris/aperture adjustments. The optional ZSG-C10 grip, designed exclusively for this lens, simplifies operation and supports diverse shooting styles, including shoulder mount ENG style. The lens covers an 18-80mm focal length and is equipped with an electronic zoom that ensures smooth, quiet, and stable zooming across the entire range. It maintains focus throughout the zoom range (parfocal) and keeps the T-stop constant across the entire focal length range, ensuring consistent exposure. Designed to meet contemporary 4K production standards, this lens delivers exceptional optical performance, from the center to the edges of the image. It also matches the color characteristics of existing Canon Cinema lenses. The lens features a no-step iris mechanism for smooth, manual or electronic control, and a 9-blade iris diaphragm for cinematic depth of field effects. The lens minimizes focus breathing with zoom and focus mechanisms tailored for video shooting.

It also features optical-shift image stabilization for stable shooting in handheld, shoulder, or tripod-mounted scenarios.
