Canon 17-120mm CINE-SERVO T2.95 Zoom Lens - EF Mount

The Canon CN7x17EF 17-120mm CINE-SERVO T2.95 Zoom Lens - EF Mount provides cinematographers with a compact, lightweight design using Canon optical elements. This zoom lens can accommodate many 4K cameras because of its high optical resolution and large image circle coverage for Super35mm format cameras. The lens also features a 7x zoom magnification, focal length range of 17mm to 120mm, and a 180º smooth-rotating focus ring. Its 11-blade aperture diaphragm allows for a beautiful bokeh effect.

The servo unit allows broadcasters, documentaries and all image-makers the ability to control zoom, focus and iris/aperture in a very convenient and intuitive way. The servo drive unit is compatible with industry-standard protocols for control from a number of lens controllers including Canon’s standard broadcast lens controllers (ZSD-300D/FPD-400D) and multiple industry standard cinema lens controllers (controllers sold separately). The drive unit can be easily removed for cinema-style shoots and can be easily re-attached in the field without any manual re-alignment. 16-bit metadata output enables connection to virtual studio systems.
