Know more about this product

The EF-mount Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cinema Zoom Lens with Serial Port combines the functionality of Canon's EF lenses with the features and performance of their CN-E lineup. Designed for use with EF-mount cameras featuring Super 35 or APS-C sized sensors, the lens covers an incredibly useful 18-80mm focal range while maintaining a constant T-stop of T4.4 (f/4) throughout. Measuring 7.2" long and weighing only 2.65 lb, the lens presents itself as a compact, lightweight option suitable for a variety of productions.

The built-in RS-422 port allows for lens control, allowing you to configure your camera with this lens as a PTZ system. It is also well suited for remote operation such as when on a jib or crane. This functionality makes it particularly useful in houses of worship, concerts, and live productions wanting to get the cinematic look of this lens while maintaining remote control capabilities. It is worth noting that this lens is Canon's first cine-style option to incorporate image stabilization and auto-focus functionality when paired with Cinema EOS cameras.
