zoom-model EF Cinema Lenses for 4K cameras<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SYDNEY, 29 August, 2012<\/strong>: Canon Australia today announces the introduction of four new compact and lightweight EF Cinema Lenses for use with 4K cameras*, supporting a diverse range of motion picture productions. The new line-up comprises the CN-E15.5\u201347mm T2.8 L S (for EF mounts) and CN-E15.5\u201347mm T2.8 L SP (for PL mounts) wide-angle cinema zoom lenses, and the CN-E30\u2013105mm T2.8 L S (for EF mounts) and CN-E30\u2013105mm T2.8 L SP (for PL mounts) telephoto cinema zoom lenses.<\/p>\n

The four new Canon EF Cinema Lenses deliver high optical performance while offering practical functionality. Despite their compact, lightweight design, the lenses support use with 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels) resolution cameras* while covering a wide focal-length range. Using the wide-angle and telephoto-zoom models as a set, or in combination with single-focal-length EF Cinema Lenses, enables users to easily achieve an array of expressive cinematographic applications.<\/p>\n

Exceptional optical performance to fulfil 4K production<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compatible with cameras equipped with industry-standard-size Super 35 mm-equivalent sensors and 4K-resolution cameras*, the new CN-E15.5\u201347mm T2.8 L S\/SP and CN-E30\u2013105mm T2.8 L S\/SP contribute to high-image-quality cinema shooting. The lenses feature an optical design employing the optimal placement of low-refraction, low-dispersion UD (ultra-low dispersion) glass, which corrects for chromatic aberrations caused by variances in the wavelengths of light entering the lens for exceptional imaging performance without colour blurring.<\/p>\n

Broad focal-length coverage in a compact, lightweight design for high practicality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed with hand-held shooting in mind, each new zoom lens weighs just approximately 2.2 kg, less than half the weight of Canon\u2019s top-end zoom lens models, which went on sale earlier this year. Additionally, despite their compact size, the new line-up covers a broad range of focal lengths to deliver utility as well as mobility.<\/p>\n

Main Features: CN-E15.5\u201347mm T2.8 L S\/SP and CN-E30\u00ad\u2013105mm T2.8 L S\/SP<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Designed to deliver high operability<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ?\u00a0\u00a0 With a focus rotation angle of approximately 300 degrees, the lenses facilitate precise focusing performance.<\/p>\n

    ?\u00a0\u00a0 Zoom, focus and iris markings all appear on angled surfaces for improved readability from behind the camera.<\/p>\n

    ?\u00a0\u00a0 The new line-up, which can be used with matte boxes and focus-adjustment accessories, features a unified front lens diameter and uniform gear positions, doing away with the need to adjust or reposition accessory gear when switching between the two lenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    ?\u00a0\u00a0 By removing the cover ring, users can easily perform flange-back adjustment.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. High optical performance for use with 4K-resolution cameras<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      ?\u00a0\u00a0 Supports 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels) production standards, with a level of resolution exceeding four times the resolution of Full HD.<\/p>\n

      ?\u00a0\u00a0 Offers compatibility with industry-standard Super 35 mm-equivalent image format as well as APS-C-size sensors.*<\/p>\n

      ?\u00a0\u00a0 The optimal placement of low-refraction, low-dispersion UD (ultra-low dispersion) glass corrects for axial and lateral chromatic aberrations to realise exceptional imaging performance without colour blurring.<\/p>\n

      ?\u00a0\u00a0 With a T-number of 2.8, the new lens line-up offers bright performance and, with no changes in brightness during zooming, enables the use of attractive blur effects when employing a shallow depth of field.<\/p>\n

      ?\u00a0\u00a0 Each lens is equipped with an 11-blade aperture diaphragm for soft, attractive blur characteristics.<\/p>\n

      ?\u00a0\u00a0 The lenses minimise focus-induced changes in the angle of view and, through the latest advances in anti-reflective coating and related technologies, reduce the occurrence of ghosting and flare.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Functionality to realise increased shooting convenience<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        ?\u00a0\u00a0 Each lens offers a reduced minimum object distance (0.5 m for the CN-E15.5\u201347mm T2.8 L S\/SP and 0.6 m for the CN-E30\u00ad\u2013105mm T2.8 L S\/SP) that makes possible tighter close-ups and facilitates shooting in limited-space environments.<\/p>\n

        ?\u00a0\u00a0 The EF-mount version lenses, when combined with Cinema EOS System cameras, support lens-camera communication enabling the recording of zoom and other settings along with video data, making possible the effective management of shooting conditions. Additionally, a future camera firmware update (release date to be decided) will enable automatic image correction along with other benefits.<\/p>\n

        * Not compatible with 35 mm full-frame or APS-H-size sensors<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
