Expand your Canon cine-style lens choices with the Super35-format CN-E Flex Zoom 31.5-95mm T1.7 Cinema EOS Lens. This EF-mount lens is color matched to the rest of the EOS cine line, featuring a warm look with natural skin tones and accurate color rendition. The 31.5-95mm Flex Zoom and its 14-35mm counterpart both boast a fast T1.7 maximum aperture across their entire focal ranges, enabling low-light capture with the ease of a zoom lens. Use the 31.5-95mm zoom with the separately available RL-F2 Relay Kit to convert it to a 45-135mm T2.4 full-frame equivalent.

Interchangeable EF and PL lens mounts make it easy to use the Flex zooms with a variety of cine-style cameras. Coated glass elements reduce chromatic aberration and block flares and ghosting, making this 3x zoom ideal for 4K to 8K cine-style HDR capture. An 11-blade iris produces soft, cinematic bokeh, and consistent .08 MOD gear placement and front diameter size suit the Flex Zooms for use with industry-standard matte boxes and accessories. This EF-mount lens features Cooke i/ metadata display and pass-through, enabling you to record information that is crucial to FX and post-production conforming.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is AF and IS etc fully compatible with the Canon 80D? Can the 80D provide enough power to operate all features of this lens at full capacity?

A: It has yet to be announced what the CN-E 18-80mm's exact compatibility with EOS camera's such as the 80D is. However, since there are contacts and the lens has the EF mount, it suggests that yes, the lens and camera will work together well. I would be curious how long the 80D's battery would last. I would think it would not be severely impacted.

Q: 2. Does Canon encodes the distortion data as well? Is it XD lens data?

A: Quoting the canon page on the lens data for the Canon CN-E 45-135mm T2.4 LF Cinema EOS Zoom Lens , "The Flex Zoom series lenses are compliant with a wide range of communication standards thanks to the versatile lens-to-camera communication function including Cooke /i Technology™ (PL mount) and EF mount. This will enable you to display or record lens metadata as well as utilize camera functions such as aberration correction, peripheral illumination correction and focus guide function with compatible cameras."

Q: 6. Would this lens work on a Panasonic Varicam LT w/ EF mount?If so, I just found my new ENG kit. :)

A: The Panasonic Varicam LT has an active EF Mount, so you will be able to use this lens on the camera. However if the servo zoom on the lens works when used with this camera is not something we will know until the lens has been released and tested. Please keep an eye on our website for updates.

Q: 7. Will this lens cover the sensor crop of 4K mode on the Canon 1Dx Mark II?

A: The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II 4K sensor crop is 1.4. The CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 is meant to cover a Super35 frame which is essentially the same as APS-C or a 1.6 crop. So while the lens will cover the 4K sensor at 80mm down to about 30mm we think with no problem, there will probably be some vignetting at 18mm.

Q: 8. Are there any customer reviews of this product?

A: No B&H customer reviews at this time. As a long time Canon lens user my take is that this will be a viable tool for those who know what it is and how to use it.

A: Yes, the Canon CN-E 20-50mm T2.4 LF Cinema EOS Zoom Lens (EF Mount) features the ability to change the mount. "Interchangeable EF and PL lens mounts make it easy to use the Flex zooms with a variety of cine-style cameras."

Q: 10. Will this lens include distortion profiles per XD / extended data?

A: The Canon CN-E 20-50mm T2.4 LF Cinema EOS Zoom Lens (PL Mount) will include a lens data port that can offer advanced lens metadata support and functions such as aberration correction, peripheral illumination correction, and focus guide function.
