Canon Cine-Servo 25-250mm T2.95 Overview

Add a professional broadcast ENG zoom lens to your EOS C300 Mark III or C500 Mark II cinema camera with the CINE-SERVO 25-250mm T2.95 Cinema Zoom Lens from Canon. This durable lens is designed for use with PL-mount cameras featuring large-format, Super 35-sized sensors with 4K optical performance. Measuring approximately 11" long and weighing only 6.7 lb, the compact, lightweight lens is suitable for a variety of productions such as narrative to EFP/ENG or run-and-gun documentary.

The lens covers an extensive 25 to 250mm focal range while featuring a T2.95 to T3.95 aperture from wide to telephoto. Using a 1.5x extender with 10x optical zoom, the telephoto range extends to an impressive 375mm. Like the rest of its cine lens family, the zoom lens creates a soft, pleasing bokeh using an 11-blade iris and a clickless iris ring. The focus ring rotates 180° with smooth operation. An LCD screen on the lens allows you to adjust user settings and functions such as zoom speed and locking, easily configured using the integrated drive switch. This PL mount model also supports Cooke /i technology, which passes metadata to your camera.

Canon has equipped the zoom lens with a servo drive unit compatible with industry-standard lens controllers, such as the broadcast ZSD-300D or FPD-400D, for full zoom, focus, and iris control. The servo drive is removable if you are shooting in a cinema style, and it can also be integrated into studio systems with its 16-bit metadata output.

Most versatile lens yet

By Brandon
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-08-08

I've had this lens for a while now and can say it's my favorite lens. Canon fixed the biggest issue I had which was a warm color shift on the 17-120. No color shifts on this lens! Flip on the built in extender and the lens can be ready for full frame. It's really the perfect lens for reality, sports, doc and most everything else.

I am a huge fan of this lens for field docu work. Great all around piece of glass for wildlife and longer lens applications while retaining a lightweight kit one person can carry tripod and sticks.
