About the Canon 15-120mm 4K Cine Servo Lens – PL
With a superb combination of focal range, compact size, and light weight, the CN8x15 IAS S E1/P1 supports Super 35mm cameras, making it ideal for a range of cinema and broadcast productions. With its versatile focal range from a wide 15mm, up to an impressive telephoto range of 120mm, the CN8x15 IAS S E1/P1 can further extend up to 180mm via the built-in 1.5x extender whilst offering full frame sensor coverage. To support future productions, the 8K optical performance can be maintained across the full focal length, which guarantees consistently high image quality across the entire frame.

Designed with consistent results in mind, the CN8x15 IAS S E1/P1 features Canon’s renowned warm colour science, matching the existing range of Canon’s cinema lenses – and an 11-blade aperture, producing a beautiful, smooth bokeh. Offering outstanding optical performance – and breath-taking image quality for HDR, 4K and 8K productions – the CN8x15 IAS S E1/P1 supports EF mount communication, advanced metadata capture with support for Cooke /i Technology™ and is also the first Cine-Servo lens to enable ZEISS eXtended Data™ (XD) communication when using the PL Mount. Featuring the same 16-bit encoder found in Canon’s broadcast and existing Cine-Servo lenses, which provides accurate lens position, zoom, focus and iris metadata, the information and communication functions between the CN8x15 IAS S E1/P1 and camera are paramount for VFX, virtual and cinema productions.

The high-end Cine-Servo CN8x15 IAS S E1/P1 is available in both EF and PL mount, featuring a powerful and removable servo motor drive unit. This provides broadcast-friendly shoulder operation for ENG/EFP and documentary style shooters and access for accessories needed for cinema productions.
