Canon Cine-Servo 50-1000mm T5.0-8.9

Show: BVE 2015

Canon’s brand new 50-1000mm PL/EF mount cine zoom covering Super35mm sensors is one of a kind; having an astonishing focal range for Super35mm lens with a similar design to the well known Canon HJ40x14 zoom. It has a built in 1.5x extender, making it 75-1500mm (it loses an additional stop of light using the extender). The lens has 4K optical performance throughout its 20x zoom range, including with the extender.

For the range it only weighs in at a light 6.6kg making it an incredibly powerful tool. An ideal lens for wildlife and sports. It works with Canon ENG style focus and zoom servos plugging straight into the bottom of the lens like the CN7x17, also known as the 17-120mm Canon Cine Zoom.

It comes with either a PL or EF mount but this can be changed at an authorised service facility, making it incredibly flexible as well as powerful. Whilst its an incredibly powerful, well built and, for the range, compact zoom lens, it has quite a hefty price tag, potentially placing it out of most people’s budget.
