Canon's Cine-Servo 17-120mm T2.95 lens with a PL mount integrates the versatility and convenience of a motorized zoom broadcast lens with the high-resolution optics suited for cinema production. Appropriate for 4K filmmakers, this lens covers Super 35mm sensors up to 26.2 x 13.8mm and boasts quick operational readiness for both single-operator handheld usage and large-scale crew productions. Its diverse 17 to 120mm focal range and consistent T2.95 aperture over much of the zoom make this lens vital for high-demand shooting scenarios.

With an ergonomic build typical of ENG lenses, the CN7x17KAS S offers user-friendly operation suitable for shoulder-mounted camera work, providing manual control over zoom, focus, and iris with ease.

ENG-Style Functionality

Compatibility with standard 20-pin broadcast controllers, such as Canon's FPD-400D and ZSD-300D, enhances this lens's versatility, enabling smooth operation in studio, tripod, or remote configurations.

Integrated Broadcast Controllers Compatibility

The lens's servo drive caters to various filming requirements, offering both rapid zoom for spontaneous sequences and gradual zooming for deliberate, artistic shots.

Adaptive Zoom Speed

Featuring an advanced encoder, the lens eliminates booting delays, facilitating instant, ready-to-shoot functionality for fast-paced filming environments.

No Initialization Needed

Through external connections, it's possible to gather precise 16-bit virtual image metadata from the lens, suitable for intricate post-production processes.

Virtual Data Output Support

This lens maintains standard 12-pin interfacing for reliable power and data transactions typical of Canon's high-end broadcast optics.

Seamless Broadcast Connectivity

Borrowing from broadcast lens design, the focus ring is limited to a 180° rotation, featuring a pronounced grip for precise focusing.

Enhanced Manual Focus Mechanism

Utilizing a three-group inner focus system, the lens minimizes breathing, ensuring stable framing and continuity across focus transitions.

Stable Imagery During Focus Pulls

The flange back adjustment mirrors that of broadcast lenses, streamlining the adaptation between diverse camera systems.

Flange Focal Distance Adjustability

Notably, the zoom ring comes with a quick-release macro function, expanding the lens's minimum focusing capabilities.

Macro Functionality

The iris can close completely for precise camera black balancing and other calibration settings.

Black Balance Calibration

For cinema-style shooting, the motorized drive unit can be removed, granting full manual control over the lens operations.

Detachable Motor Unit

Designed to sufficiently cover Super 35mm-sized sensors, this lens is an asset for professional cinematic productions.

Super 35mm Sensor Compatibility

The lens presents easily legible focus ring markings with dual measurement standards and a luminous coating for low-light conditions.

Readability-Enhanced Markings

It supports a broad selection of cinema industry accessories, including gear rings compatible with various systems and control devices.

Comprehensive Accessory Support

Outfitted to attach to 15mm or 19mm rod systems, it offers additional support options to offset its heft during extensive shoots.

Lens Support Accommodation

The lens communicates precise metadata to Cinema EOS cameras and through a standard 12-pin interface, enhancing workflow with lens data.

Metadata Integration

The 11-blade aperture design promotes nearly circular bokeh, minimizing polygonal shapes and diffraction-related anomalies.

Optimized Aperture Design

This lens incorporates aspherical elements and special coatings to reduce distortion across the frame and control chromatic aberration.

Advanced Lens Elements

Special fluorite coatings, coupled with Ultra-Low Dispersion glass, combat chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring sharp imagery.
