Hi, I'm Jack Adair.
Canon has a rich heritage of optical design, which all
started back in 1946.
And over the years, Canon has invested an incredible
amount of time and resources into developing unique
optical, mechanical and electronic technology that has
allowed us push the boundaries of lens innovation.
The Cinema EOS line of lenses includes a wealth of
high-end lenses, with top-end zooms, compact zooms,
EF Cine Primes, Sumire Primes, Cine-Servo and
Compact-Servo lenses.
These cinema lenses are designed to meet the diverse
imaging requirements of today's cinematic productions,
and it is my pleasure to introduce to you a new addition
to the family, the Flex Zoom Series.
This premium, high-end series is built from the ground up
for full frame cinema cameras.
The first in the series is the CN-E20-50mm
T2.4 lens, and this will soon be joined by
the CN-E45-135mm
T2.4, offering the perfect pairing that has
you covered for a wide range of productions.
The Flex Zoom Series is designed for outstanding
optical performance, rendering beautiful
and natural images.
This breathtaking image quality is perfect for 4K
productions. Available in EF and PL
mount, and designed for use on large format 35mm
and super 35mm cameras, this premium,
high-end full frame cinema lens offers a constant
maximum T-stop value of 2.4 across
the entire zoom range, offering a shallow depth of field
for a cinematic look.
These lenses are built with highly precise mechanics,
making them reliable tools for the professional
cinematographer. Advanced lens metadata support
includes Cooke/i technology and
ZEISS eXtended Data protocols.
External 4-pin LEMO communication provides metadata
support for cameras not compliant with these protocols.
Whether you're using the Canon EOS C500 Mark II
or other PL mount cinema cameras, the Flex Zoom
lenses are designed for full frame, giving that incredible
cinematic look so desired by DoPs today.
High optical quality with minimal aberations
from the centre of the image to the outer edges and
throughout the broad focal length range of 20mm
to 135mm.
The lenses can support productions up to 8K whilst
retaining a beautiful cinematic look.
The lenses also offer reduced internal reflections
ideal for HDR workflows.
The lenses render the beautiful and warm colour tones
synonymous with Canon Cinema Lens family.
With a consistent light transmission of T2.4
throughout the Zoom range, the Flex Zoom Series
offers a broad focal range from the wide angle
CN-E20-50mm T2.4, to
the mid-focal range of the CN-E45-135mm
T2.4.
Setting up the lens for shooting across any focal length is
easy, with no adjustment needed as you zoom
in to shot.
11 aperture blades create soft, beautiful
light rays and stunning depth of field fall off,
whilst an internal focusing system delivers minimised
focus breathing and excellent parfocal performance.
The lenses render the beautiful and warm
colour tones synonymous with Canon Cinema Lens family.
The Flex Zoom series are available in either EF
or PL mounts, to give greater flexibility and
versatility for your production requirements.
The lens is also interchangeable between EF and PL
mounts at additional cost via Canon-authorised service
centers or authorised third party companies
to provide even greater value and flexibility.
Consistent focus gears making the lens suitable for key
third party accessories, for example, follow focus.
Both the CN-E20-50mm T2.4
and the CN-E45-135mm
T2.4 share the same design, with consistent
front diameter, gear positions and gear rotation
angles. Focus, zoom and Iris styles
feature industry standard gears and 0.8mm
pitch to suit third party follow focus accessories.
The lens features luminous metric and imperial markings
for easy operation in low light.
Built for longevity, the premium design and outstanding
optics and components offer quick and precise
operation, with durability ideal for professional
video productions.
The lenses are equipped with a flange back adjustment
mechanism, this is hidden under a cover.
This provides easy access for servicing and adjustments of
the back focus system.
The lenses also accept 112mm screw-in
filters for protection of the front element, or to expand
your creative possibilities.
Capture increased cinematic quality, wider
field of view and greater depth of field.
This compact and lightweight lens is designed for use on
full frame 35mm sensor cameras.
Canon offers a fully integrated solution for professional
filmmakers and cinematographers with our family of
cinema cameras and cinema lenses
that work seamlessly together.
