Key points:

• 4K
• Motorized zoom

• Focal length 17-120mm

Large-sensor cameras are fast becoming a must-have in many areas of production, from fiction to documentaries. This new cine-servo lens combines the functionality of a conventional broadcast lens with the image quality of a cinema lens.

It will be available in Canon EF (CN7x17 KAS S /E1) and PL (CN7x17 KAS S /P1) mounts.

It is compatible with Ultra-High Definition and 4K DCI capture, with a magnification coefficient of 7x, a focal range of 17-120 mm and a minimum iris aperture of T/2.95. All these features make it extremely versatile.

The motorized handle is ideal for shoulder-mounted shoots such as documentaries.

Its size is the same as that of traditional Broadcast lenses. It therefore offers the same grip, for more comfortable long-term shooting.

High zoom speed and the ability to adjust iris aperture and focus mean you can react quickly to changes in set-up during shooting. The low-speed motorized function, meanwhile, offers exceptional control possibilities, with slow zooming to achieve exactly the desired effect. The responsiveness of the motorized grip makes it possible to capture every sequence, even in extreme situations.

This lens is also perfectly suited to use on a tripod in the studio or on location. Zoom, focus and iris can be controlled via Canon's dedicated zoom and focus controls, for precise, easy control of key image parameters without the operator having to touch the lens. A 16-bit encoder output is also available for use in virtual studios.

This lens, integrated into Canon's EOS Cinema System, is also suitable for on-set shooting. The motorized handle makes it easy to shoot on the move. It can also be removed for cinema-style shooting. Reassembly is quick and easy, with no need for position adjustments. Ultra-versatile, it is compatible with many standard accessories: ZSD 300D, FPD 400 D.
