Canon CN-E 20mm T1.5 L F Cine Prime Lens (EF)
A super-fast cine-prime lens with optical quality performance beyond 4K
Designed to complement and extend the existing Cinema EOS range of prime lenses, this 20mm wide-angle delivers stunning 4K quality right across the frame.
- The lens delivers exceptional 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels, compared to the 1920x1080 pixel count of Full HD), optical performance.
- Employing anomalous dispersion glass that's effective in reducing chromatic aberration, plus large-diameter aspherical lenses, the lens achieves high-resolution imaging from the centre of the frame to the outer edges.
- The lens offers compatibility with Super 35mm-equivalent cameras, full-frame, APS-C and APS-H cameras.
- The lens opens up widespread lens compatibility options for professional filmmakers who wish to embrace Canon’s long-established, and wide-ranging, EF lens mount system that was originally introduced for EOS SLRs in 1987.
- An aperture diaphragm with 11 leaves creates gentle, attractive blurring or ‘bokeh’ for cinematographic effects and created deeper, richer depth-of-field.
- The lens weighs 1.2kg and offers a sturdy build that’s user-friendly for demanding productions. It features focus and iris markings that are engraved on angled surfaces for improved readability from behind the camera.
- Featuring the distinctive ‘resistance’ of cine lenses the lens offers outstanding manual control. The lens offers a focus rotation of approximately 300 degrees and facilitates precise focusing performance.
- A rubber ring is used at the mount joint to facilitate protection against water ingress. A highly drip-proof structure is adopted for several areas, preventing water drop entry.
- This prime lens can be used with standard manual and electronic movie industry accessories, and other equipment such as matte boxes. Featuring a unified front lens diameter and uniform gear positions, the lens does away with the need to adjust or reposition accessory gear when switching between other lenses in the Canon Cinema Lens series.
- The lens communicates to the camera data relating to ambient light, chromatic aberration, and other image correction information.
Benefits:
- Outstanding optomechanical performance to support 4K production
- Supports s35mm and full frame cameras
- 11-blade iris for natural, pleasing bokeh
- Superb operability and reliability
- Excellent communication and integration with EF-mount cameras
