Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cinema Zoom Lens (EF Mount)

Overview

Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cinema Zoom Lens (EF Mount)

The Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Lens combines the functionality of Canon's EF lenses with the features and performance of their CN-E lineup. Designed for use with EF-mount cameras featuring Super35 or APS-C sized sensors, the lens covers an incredibly useful 18-80mm focal range while maintaining a constant T-stop of T4.4 (f/4) throughout. Measuring 18.2cm long and weighing only 1.20kg, the lens presents itself as a compact, lightweight option suitable for a variety of productions, from narrative work to run-and-gun documentaries. Notably, the lens is Canon's first cine-style option to incorporate image stabilisation and autofocus functionality when paired with Cinema EOS cameras.

Optional Servo Control

Use the 18-80mm zoom with the separately available servo drive unit to further enhance the versatility of this lens. The servo drive is compatible with industry-standard lens controllers, including Canon's broadcast ZSD-300D and FPD-400D, for full zoom, focus, and iris control.

Alternatively, you can outfit the lens with the optional ZSG-C10 Control Grip for ENG-style lens control and operation. Power is provided to the grip from compatible cameras via the EF mount. For non-servo zoom control, the lens features cine-standard 0.8 mod gears, as well as a rubberised grip on the focus ring, enabling comfortable manual operation.
