Canon CN-E 15.5-47mm T2.8 L S Cinema Zoom Lens

The Canon CN-E 15.5-47mm T2.8 L S Cinema Zoom Lens, designed for EF mounts, stands as a stellar choice amongst Canon's range of Cinema optics, purpose-built to meet the exacting requirements of production professionals. This lens strives for 4K camera (4096 x 2160 resolution) compatibility, outperforming HD visual systems, and is adaptable to both Super 35mm-equivalent and APS-C sensors. Its brightness at f/2.8 aperture renders it ideal for poorly lit scenes, while ensuring consistent illumination throughout zooming, thus creating pleasing bokeh. Its minimal objective distance of 19.68 inches enhances close-up shots and usage in confined spaces. When paired with Canon Cinema EOS cameras, the lens supports data communication, recording zoom settings alongside the footage for efficient workflow management. Innovatively designed with fluorite and expansive aspherical elements, the CN-E 15.5-47mm T2.8 L S ensures uniform, crisp imagery over its zoom range. The construction anticipates fluctuations in temperature to avoid inconsistencies during shooting, especially on well-lit stages. Highlighted by an 11-blade diaphragm, the lens promises smooth background blurring, while the internal focusing feature greatly reduces focus breathing. The optic is constructed for ease of use with standard industry accessories, enhancing its application in diverse production settings.
