EF lens mount compatibility

The CN-E50mm T1.3L F cinema lens opens up widespread lens compatibility options for professional filmmakers who wish to embrace Canon’s long-established, and wide-ranging, EF lens mount system that was originally introduced for EOS SLRs in 1987.

Outstanding optical performance

The lens delivers exceptional 4K (4096x2160 pixels, compared to the 1920x1080 pixel count of Full HD), optical performance and offers compatibility with Super 35mm-equivalent cameras, full-frame, APS-C and APS-H cameras.

Employing anomalous dispersion glass that's effective in eliminating chromatic aberration, plus large-diameter aspherical lenses, the lens achieves high-resolution imaging from the centre of the frame to the outer edges.

Cinema user-friendly handling & focus/iris control

The CN-E50mm T1.3L F lens weighs 1.1kg and offers a sturdy build that’s user-friendly for demanding productions. It features focus and iris markings that are engraved on angled surfaces for improved readability.

Featuring the distinctive ‘resistance’ of cine lenses the lens offers outstanding manual control. The lens offers a focus rotation of approximately 300 degrees and facilitates precise focusing performance.

Attractive blurring

An aperture diaphragm with 11 leaves creates gentle, attractive blurring for cinematographic effects.

Industry-standard compatibility

This prime lens can be used with standard manual and electronic movie industry accessories, and other equipment such as matte boxes. Featuring a unified front lens diameter and uniform gear positions, the lens does away with the need to adjust or reposition accessory gear when switching between other lenses in the Canon Cinema Lens series.
