E47x9.5B IE 9.5-450mm 1:1.4
Canon proudly announces the latest addition to our line of economical yet high quality field lenses, "SUPER E47". The "SUPER
E47", also known as the E47X9.5BIE, incorporates many of the same features and functions as the industry standard Super Series of
field lenses. Those features include the optional "CROSSOVER" System for seamless 4X3 and 16X9 production on switchable
cameras.
When used in conjunction with portable cameras, the "SUPER E47" features a unique Built In Supporter for the lens and camera
combination.
HIGH MTF PERFORMANCE
The next generation of 16 : 9 format has
become more widespread world-wide.
The height of the 16 : 9 format is 20%
shorter than that of the current 4 : 3
format, thus the scanning lines are 20%
greater(Fig.1). As a result, higher
resolution is required for the 16 : 9
format. In order to achieve this, the
SUPER E47 provides minimum
aberrations by Hi-UD glasse (High
Index Ultra Low Dispersion glass) and
Canon's unique fluorite. The SUPER
E47 succeeds in having the higher
MTF performance, correspondent to
6MHz, necessary for the 16 : 9 format.

CANON "CROSSOVER" SYSTEM
All the Super series of lenses, including
the new SUPER E47 are now option-
ally available with "CROSSOVER"
compatibility for most 16 : 9/4 : 3
switchable cameras. The 4 position
extender turret incorporates a 0.8x
"CROSSOVER" unit in addition to
the normal extenders i.e. 1.0x, 1.5x, or
2.0x (Fig.2). When the camera switches
to the 4 : 3 mode, the extender turret
rotates to the 0.8x position. The 0.8x
"CROSSOVER" unit reduces the diam-
eter of the image from 11mm to 9mm
thus shortening the focal length to
produce an identical picture angle of
view. In essence, the 0.8x "CROSSOVER"
unit acts as a 1.0x extender for the
switched 4 : 3 aspect ratio. Fig.3 shows
the relation between focal length and
the magnification of the extenders.
