Filmmakers will find the operation of these lenses a breeze, thanks to an operation ring designed with the perfect sense of torque for precise and smooth adjustments – an absolute necessity for cinema shooting. Their unified design, including gear positions, lens diameter, and rotation angles, guarantees that filmmakers can swap lenses without the hassle of reconfiguring matte boxes or external follow-focus accessories for each model. Canon has thought of everything, even providing a knurled surface near the mount for a comfortable grip, ensuring lenses can be securely attached and detached without the need to grip the operation ring.
The key features of the RF mount Cinema Prime lenses are truly impressive:
- A genuine RF mount, eliminating the need for a converter and ensuring stable operation
- High-speed lens communication, offering advanced metadata support from the lens to the camera
- Geared rings for superior manual control and compatibility with third-party follow-focus accessories
