Canon Compact-Servo CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Overview

By B&H Photo's
Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Cinema Zoom Lens (EF Mount)
The Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Lens combines the functionality of Canon's EF lenses with the features and performance of their CN-E lineup. Designed for use with EF-mount cameras featuring Super35 or APS-C sized sensors, the lens covers an incredibly useful 18-80mm focal range while maintaining a constant T-stop of T4.4 (f/4) throughout. Measuring 7.2" long and weighing only 2.65 lb, the lens presents itself as a compact, lightweight option suitable for a variety of productions, from narrative work to run-and-gun documentaries. Notably, the lens is Canon's first cine-style option to incorporate image stabilization and autofocus functionality when paired with Cinema EOS cameras.
Lens Design
  • Covers Super35/APS-C formats
  • 18-80mm focal range (4.4x zoom ratio)
  • Constant T4.4 (f/4) aperture
  • Parfocal design to maintain focus during zoom
  • Minimized focus breathing
  • Cine-standard 0.8 MOD focus gear ring
  • 0.5 MOD iris and zoom gear rings
  • Focus ring rotates 180°
  • Matching color characteristics to existing CN-E lenses
  • 9-blade iris
  • Iris closing
  • Compact and lightweight design
Functionality with Cinema EOS Cameras
  • Autofocus function (Continuous AF, One-Shot AF, Focus Guide)
  • Image Stabilization
  • Remote control of zoom, focus, and iris via camera
  • REC start/stop from ZSG-C10 Grip
  • Peripheral illumination correction
  • Chromatic aberration correction
  • Lens metadata record
  • T-stop/F-stop number display select
Optional Servo Control
  • Use the 18-80mm zoom with the separately available servo drive unit to further enhance the versatility of this lens. The servo drive is compatible with industry-standard lens controllers, including Canon's broadcast ZSD-300D and FPD-400D, for full zoom, focus, and iris control.
  • Alternatively, you can outfit the lens with the optional ZSG-C10 Control Grip for ENG-style lens control and operation. Power is provided to the grip from compatible cameras via the EF mount. For non-servo zoom control, the lens features cine-standard 0.8 mod gears, as well as a rubberized grip on the focus ring, enabling comfortable manual operation.

The Canon FPD-400D is a digital focus servo demand designed for Canon lens controller kits, including the SS-41-20D, SS-42-20D, SS-41-IASD, and SS-42-IASD.

The FPD-400D demand includes a pan-bar clamp mount but requires a separate cable for both A- and R-type lenses and a servo module for R-type lenses.

hello friends! i would LOVE to be able to use the Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 SERVO #1714C002. has anyone else tried this EF lens with Metabones EF-MFT Speed Booster SUPER16 0.58x (is this the right one)? does the lens work with this Blackmagic Studio 4K camera? do the electronic lens functions work? focus and zoom via SS-41-IASD? how about the NEW black magic focus and zoom demands? CINSTUDMFT/H/FD and CINSTUDMFT/H/FZD? with this Studio 4K camera, does the lens need additional power? does the camera offer this power? if not, how would i power it? thank you friends! :)
Asked by: Christopher
You will need to use the Metabones Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Sony E Mount T Smart Adapter (Fifth Generation). The Super16 adapter in your question does not fully cover the Blackmagic Studio 4K cameras and will result in significant vignetting. The Canon CN-E lenses will work, electronically communicate, and zoom with the Blackmagic 4K Studio Cameras. The lens does not need additional power, because the electronic pins on the adapter pass through to and from the camera and lens.

hello! trying to get a second option ... as metabones themselves have on their web site that the speed booster i would need for this lens to attach to the new blackmagic studio 4K pro is the Metabones EF-MFT Speed Booster SUPER16 0.58x. WILL THIS ADAPTER CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VIGNETTING? which metabones should i get for this combination? thank you! :)
Asked by: Christopher
The New Studio 4K Plus and Pro use Micro 4/3 Sensors instead of Super 16 Sensors (The original studio cameras used super 16). We recommend the Metabones T Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Canon Full-Frame EF-Mount Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera (BH #MESPEFM43BT4 • MFR #MB_SPEF-M43-BT4) This lens is APS-C therefore you may see some minor vignetting at wider focal lengths. the only way to guarantee that you wont see any vignetting is to use the standard MFT to EF adapter.

Will autofocus work with the sony fx9 with the adapter?
Asked by: Michael
I don't think you would need the full servo kit that comes with the Canon COMPACT-SERVO 18-80mm T4.4 EF Zoom Lens with SS-41-IASD Kit to have auto focus from the FX9 work with the Canon CN-E 18-80mm, all you should need is an EF to E-mount adapter that supports electronic lens communication, such as the Metabones Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Sony E Mount T CINE Smart Adapter (Fifth Generation)(BH #MEMBEFEBT6).

question

When using this lens on a new RED Epic Weapon, what would be the equivalent size from the 18 ml & up to the 80 ml?
Asked by: tim
The CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 lens is meant for Super35/APS-C sensors. This lens will cover the RED Weapon 8K S35 (Super35) sensor but not on the forthcoming 8K VV (Vista Vision) sensor. In Super35 mode, the crop factor as compared to Full Frame is about 1.6. Thus this lens would compare to about 29mm to 128mm in Full Frame. If I may, I would like to point out that calculating crop factor is a process that did not exist before digital cameras and therefore suggest dropping the process since it is confusing for novices and unnecessary for seasoned shooters. I recommend to just learn what a normal lens is for the format you are using and then drop calculating lens size for a format you are not shooting in.
