The canon cn-e 18-80mm t4.4 compact-servo lens 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 to 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, from narrative work to run-and-gun documentaries. Notably, the lens is canon's first cine-style option to incorporate image stabilization and auto focus functionality when paired with cinema eos cameras.
Further enhancing the versatility of this lens, canon has equipped it with a servo drive unit compatible with industry-standard lens controllers, including canon's broadcast zsd-300d and fpd-400d, for full zoom, focus, and iris control. Alternatively, you can outfit the lens with the optional zsg-c10 control grip for eng-style lens control and operation. Power is provided to the grip from compatible cameras via the ef mount. For non-servo zoom control, the lens features cine-standard 0.8 mod gears, as well as a rubberized grip on the focus ring enabling comfortable manual operation.
