The new lens achieves resolution suitable for 4K, from the center of the image to the periphery. Supporting high-image-quality cameras that feature 35 mm full-frame sensors—such as the EOS C700 FF digital cinema camera (released in late July 2018) and the EOS-1D C DSLR (released in October 2012)—the CN-E20mm T1.5 L F contributes to the creation of high-level video productions. What’s more, featuring a focal length equivalent to approximately 29.2 mm (35 mm film equivalent) when used with cameras sporting Super 35 mm sensors, this wide-angle lens can be used for a broad range of shooting scenarios. Additionally, with an 11-blade aperture diaphragm and a T number1 of 1.5, the lens achieves soft, natural blur characteristics.

Since the launch of the Cinema EOS System and EF Cinema Lenses in November 2011, Canon has continued to expand its EF Cinema Lens lineup. This lineup—with the addition of such series released since 2014 as the CINE-SERVO series and COMPACT-SERVO series of lenses featuring servo functions—has been highly praised by a wide range of users. With the introduction of the CN-E20mm T1.5 L F, the lineup of EF Cinema Lenses now comprises a total of 21 models2. This gives users of the Cinema EOS System, which has garnered high praise for video production, even more options to choose from, supporting enhanced content creation for users faced with a variety of uses and shooting scenarios.

1 The F number of a lens is a theoretical value of brightness calculated using its focal length and aperture. The T number is a value that encompasses the F number and the transmittance of glass used and is the standard notation of brightness for cinema lenses.
2 Includes EF and PL mount versions of top-end zoom lenses, compact zoom lenses and CINE-SERVO lenses. Fixed-focal-length lenses and COMPACT-SERVO lenses are available in EF mount only.
