Canon’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of cinematography is evident in the seamless compatibility of these lenses with Canon’s EOS C70 (released in November 2020) and EOS R5 C1 (released in March 2022) RF Cinema cameras. Operators will appreciate the capability to control various critical aspects, including magnification, chromatic aberration correction, peripheral light correction, and dual-pixel focus guidance, all through the camera body. An additional perk is the new lenses’ distortion aberration correction, streamlining the video production process, both during recording and post-shoot editing.
When it comes to optical performance, these RF mount Cinema Prime lenses set new industry standards. They excel in delivering exceptional color reproduction and are tailored for use with 4K and 8K cameras. This is achieved by incorporating large-diameter aspherical lens elements and lens elements with anomalous dispersion glass. With bright T-stop values and 11 aperture blades, filmmakers can achieve that coveted shallow depth of field, round blurring, and soft image expressions. Notably, the lenses maintain a consistent color balance across the entire series, simplifying color tone adjustments when switching lenses during the same scene.
