CANON CINEMA & EF LENSES
– WHAT IT TAKES TO CHANGE PERSPECTIVE
Canon's expanding lineup of dedicated Super 35mm Cinema Lenses is designed exclusively for high-end
cinematography. All of the lenses conform to Canon's perpetual high standards in accuracy, clarity and
optical brilliance to deliver outstanding performance. And with one of the finest and most comprehensive
range of EF Lenses – comprising more than 60 prime and zoom models in a variety of user
configurations – you'll be able to find exactly the right perspective to capture your creative vision.
Never before has functionality been so dexterously blended with versatility.
Canon Cinema Lenses
Canon offers a complete line of cinema lenses, including
Zooms, Compact Zooms and Primes. All of these lenses fulfill
contemporary 4K production standards, further enhancing the
performance of any HD imaging system. And each lens
features an 11-blade aperture diaphragm to help ensure
beautiful bokeh. Markings on both sides of the lens barrel
simplify focus reading and aperture setting from behind or on
either side of the camera, while torque of the control rings
maintains proper resistance. To enable film crews to change
optics quickly and without adjusting the rig setup, each
category of Cinema Lenses shares a uniform front diameter,
rotation angle for operational controls, and gear positions.
Canon Cinema Zoom and
Compact Zoom Lenses
Canon Cinema Zoom and Compact Zoom Lenses use new
optical glass materials, new optical coatings and powerful
new design techniques to offer extraordinary 4K optical
performance. All Zoom Lenses feature large aspherical lens
elements that help achieve sharp, consistent images, and a
geared inner-focusing mechanism helps minimize focus-
induced changes in the angle-of-view, greatly reducing
focus breathing. All of these lenses are available with
industry-standard PL-mount or Canon's EF-mount.
The wide-angle Cinema Zoom CN-E14.5–60mm T2.6 L S/SP
represents a masterpiece of contemporary optical design,
with a focal range that was chosen to meet a wide range of
needs in movie-making and high-end television production,
and resolution that exceeds 4K. The Cinema Zoom telephoto
CN-E30–300mm T2.95–3.7 L S/SP lens rivals best-in-class zoom
lenses, in a surprisingly low-weight, opto-mechanical housing.
Canon Cinema Compact Zoom Lenses offer 4K resolution in
form factors that enable more flexible, less intrusive shooting.
The CN-E15.5–47mm T2.8 L S/SP delivers a wide to medium
range of focal lengths, while the CN-E30–105mm T2.8 L S/SP
covers wide to modest telephoto shots. Both zoom lenses
are ideal for Steadicam™ and hand-held shooting.
Canon Cinema Prime Lenses
The flexible series of Canon Cinema Prime Lenses offers
spectacular 4K-image quality and a full-frame image circle,
in lightweight, compact designs. This family of lenses features
high optical speed, produces exceptionally sharp images
and superb contrast, and maintains tightly controlled focus
breathing and geometric distortion. These EF-mount models
offer consistent form factors and markings that have been
optimized for motion picture production, and represent the
beginning of an evolving family of cinema primes.
Canon Cinema Prime Lenses are also compatible – under
manual operation – with all Canon EOS DSLR models,
including the full-frame EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III, as
well as the EOS 7D and EOS 60D models that use APS-C
sized image sensors.

Canon EF Series Lenses – A Wide and
Varied Selection
Perfected in Canon laboratories and proven in the field,
Canon EF Lenses incorporate a rare array of the world's
most advanced optical, micro-electronic and manufacturing
technologies. Many EF lenses utilize the advanced Canon
Peripheral Illumination Correction feature, which helps to
ensure beautiful, consistent color and brightness across the
entire image plane. In addition to offering full compatibility
with existing lenses, the EOS-1D C's EF mount opens up new,
creative possibilities with Canon specialty lenses, including
Tilt-Shift, Macro and Canon's exhilarating EF 8–15mm f/4L
Fisheye USM zoom lens.
Tilt-Shift Lenses — TS-E lenses incorporate tilt and shift
functions to extend the shooting advantages of technical-view
cameras to the EOS system. Tilt movements alter the angle
of the focal plane between the lens and image sensor,
modifying depth-of-field independently of the lens aperture.
Shift movements slide the lens' optical axis along the plane
of the image sensor, enabling photographers to correct or
alter perspective to almost any angle, and help add
unimagined drama to a scene.
Macro Lenses — By revealing the finest detail and achieving
extraordinary edge-to-edge accuracy at very shallow
depth-of-field, macro photography can be an ultimate test of
optical performance. Canon EF specialty lenses include six
ultra-precise macro lenses and three screw-on, close-up
lenses. Accompanied by the Life-Size Converter EF and two
Extension Tube accessories, Canon's macro lens array provides
valuable imaging options for the EOS-1D C camera.
Fisheye Zoom Lens — Super wide-angle and special-effects
photography let you capture each subject from a unique
perspective. The Canon EF 8–15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is the
world's first fisheye zoom lens to create circular images with
a 180-degree angle-of-view on full-frame DSLRs.
Canon L-Series Lenses
Canon L-series Lenses are highly regarded by video professionals
who demand uncompromising optical performance. These
specialty lenses incorporate a number of innovative Canon
technologies, including Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass,
fluorite and aspherical lens elements, plus Super Spectra
Multi Coating.
When used with a Canon Cinema Zoom lens, the EOS-1D C must be switched to Super 35mm Crop HD shooting mode.
