This CINE-SERVO lens*1 features a 50–1000 mm focal length range and high 20x zoom magnification, the world’s longest focal length*2 and world’s highest magnification in its class.*2 Enabling new possibilities in imaging expression, the lens’s exceptionally long focal length and superior optical performance, which facilitates use with large-format cameras and the capture of 4K-resolution video, as well as its high mobility and the incorporation of a removable Digital Drive unit, support a wide range of applications ranging from serial dramas, television commercials and motion pictures, to sporting events and nature programs.

With a focal length range spanning from 50 mm at its widest angle to 1000 mm at the telephoto end, the new Canon CINE-SERVO lens realizes the world’s longest focal length and, with a 20x zoom ratio, achieves the world’s highest magnification. Furthermore, it is the world’s first*2 drive-unit-equipped zoom lens compatible with large-format-sensor cameras*3 to incorporate an internal extender (1.5x), making possible an expanded focal length range of up to 1500 mm at the telephoto end. The feature supports the shooting of sporting events, nature programs and other productions that often require the camera to be located far from the subject.
