Learn from B&H Experts

From Manufacturer

The EF-mount Canon CN-E 70-200mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cine Zoom Lens with Serial Port provides 4K and HDR–compatible imaging for Super 35-sensor digital cinema cameras. This compact, lightweight zoom offers coverage in the commonly used 70-200mm range. Its range can be further expanded using the optional Canon EF 1.4x III and 2x extenders (available separately). This parfocal cine lens maintains focus while zooming and has a constant maximum iris of T4.4 across its zoom range. Its color characteristics match those of existing Canon cinema lenses, making for smooth intercutting. Another cinematic feature of this zoom is its nine-bladed iris which can be used to produce attractive bokeh (out-of-focus highlights) effects.

The built-in RS-422 port allows for lens control, allowing you to configure your camera with this lens as a PTZ system. It is also well suited for remote operation such as when on a jib or crane. This functionality makes it particularly useful in houses of worship, concerts, and live productions wanting to get the cinematic look of this lens while maintaining remote control capabilities. At just over seven inches in length and weighing under three pounds, the 70-200mm Compact-Servo Cine Zoom offers portability combined with a versatile focal length range and high optical performance.

Good

Great companion for the Blackmagic Design STUDIO CAMERA 6K PRO. The zoom range is not as great as the numbers may indicate. Good when paired with the 18-80MM side-by-side.

Incomplete

The lens and the focus/zoom controllers work amazingly well, but the kit is incomplete. Only one of the two controllers can be plugged into the lens at a time. It takes a $500 Y cable to make them work together. The products work well, but I didn't appreciate the extra $500 surprise. ikan STR-CN-E-Y is what I had to buy.

I need for a specify shot to have 2 subjects in focus, 1 is 10 meters behind the other, for that, I need to set manually the lens to f 11, min, and zoom in manually, Does the lens allow this? or is it locked at T4.4 , f4 stop?
Asked by: Oliver
T4.4 is the maximum aperture. If you need to stop down the lens you can do so with the aperture ring. The lens also has a Zoom and Focus Ring for complete manual control if desired.

Does Canon offer a replacement lens hood for this lens ?
Asked by: Jay
Yes, I would contact their support since B&H only sells Canon lens hoods for their photography line. https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/email/!ut/p/z1/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfIjo8zifQM9LDw8nQ18LCyCnAwcfV0M3AwDTYz8fQ31wwkpiAJKG-AAjgZA_VGElBTkRhikOyoqAgA1lzYH/dz/d5/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/?uri=nm%3Aoid%3Aus.support.email
