Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S

The new Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S is a brand new lightweight and compact Cinema EOS lens with cine-servo functionality. The lens is available in Canon EF mount and features a maximum aperture of T4.4, which is constant througout the entire zoom range. 

The ergonomic design and lightweight design makes handheld shooting a breeze thus making the lens ideal for shooting documentaries, interviews, weddings, indiependent films and corporate videos. 

The CN-E 18-80mm T4.4L IS KAS S features 3 image stabilisation modes and is fully compatible with the Dual-Pixel Autofocus system on Canon cameras such as the C100 mark II and the C300 Mark II. The 18-80mm is a true ENG zoom for large Super 35 sensor cameras and a affordable option compared to our existing cine-servo lenses which tend to cost 3 to 4 times more.

For the first time since the Dawn of the DSLR revolution more than 6 years ago, there is a trully affordable Cine Zoom with Servo Control - the 18-80mm is a perfect companion to any C300 or C300 Mark II shooter. 

The optional Canon ZSG-C10 servo zoom hand-grip is dedicated for the lens making the lens ideal for use with hand held rigs.
