The Canon CJ15ex8.5B 15x UHD 4K 2/3" Portable Zoom Lens is a compact, lightweight lens with image stabilization that is ideal for sports and other field-based productions. It has a focal length range of 8.5 to 128mm and uses Canon's Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) technology to maintain optimal image quality throughout its zoom range, even while using the OIS feature. Its dynamic range supports HDR imaging and the wider color gamut of the ITU-R BT.202 standard.

Compact and lightweight, this zoom lens uses 16-bit encoders compatible with existing HD controllers, and its three 20-pin connectors enable interfacing with virtual systems, even when using both focus and zoom servos.
