When paired with full-frame or large-format cameras, these lenses fully leverage the cameras' signature shallow depth-of-field to produce smooth and natural background blur, resulting in powerful visuals. What’s more, the lenses maintain a bright T2.4 aperture¹ across their entire zoom ranges, making possible image capture in natural light, even in darker environments, thereby contributing to less cumbersome lighting setups and video production workflows that are more efficient and cost-effective.

Featuring an optical configuration with optimal placement of lens elements including a large-aperture aspherical lens and an anomalous dispersion glass lens, the CN-E45-135mm T2.4 L F/FP lenses mitigate color smudging and chromatic aberrations. This enables them to maintain high optical performance from the center of the image to the periphery when paired with 8K cameras.

In addition to supporting EF-mount data transmission², the new lenses are also compatible with /i Technology³ from Cooke Optics. With this capability, recording metadata such as focus, zoom, aperture and lens model can be transmitted via the lens mount for visualization on the camera itself. This additional information helps contribute to more efficient workflows not only during on-location recording, but also during post-production and editing.

1 The f-number of a lens refers to the level of brightness calculated based on focal length and lens aperture. The t-number, more commonly used to describe the brightness of cinema lenses, incorporates a lens' f-number along with the measure of light transmission.
2 Only compatible with EF mount cameras
3 Only compatible with PL mount cameras
