Canon RF Lenses

Designed to take advantage of everything the RF mount has to offer, RF lenses represent a new frontier in lens design for mirrorless cameras. With a large 54mm lens mount, large diameter elements to match and placement closer to the image plane, RF lenses provide brilliant image quality edge-to-edge with minimal light fallout, enabling new possibilities for enhanced optics and compact designs. A supercharged 12 pin communication system optimizes data transfer between camera and lens for sharp, stable and responsive performance in a wide variety of applications.

Canon Prime Lenses

Spanning the range of 14 to 135mm, these six prime lenses comprise a comprehensive shooting package that covers full-frame and Super 35mm production. Each lens is designed with optics for 4K capture and focus and iris gears that share the same position from lens to lens. The wide-angle lenses feature minimal edge distortion for a sharp images corner-to-corner, while the longer lenses in the set maintain a fast maximum aperture for shallow depth of field or low-light shooting.

Canon Zoom Lenses

Designed to support 4K resolution in Super 35 sensors, these CN-E lenses collectively cover from 14.5 to 300mm in either short or long zoom ranges. Available in either PL or Canon EF mount, the lenses incorporate an 11-blade iris that produces a natural looking bokeh and share focus and zoom gear positions for rapid lens changes without having to adjust your lens accessories. The CINE-SERVO 50-1000mm features a removable ENG-style zoom drive and incorporates a 1.5x extender that increases its range to 75 to 1500mm.

Canon Sumire Lenses

Canon's line of PL-mount cinema prime lenses is named Sumire Prime (pronounced "Soo-mee-ray")—inspired by the beauty of unfurling flower petals. Sumire lenses' unique optical design creates a nuanced look as the lens aperture approaches its maximum setting, subtly modifying the textural renderings of the human face, close up. Designed to fulfill contemporary 4K production standards, they feature a full-frame imaging circle in a lightweight, compact design. These phenomenal lenses are also perfect for any number of applications. Their 11-blade aperture diaphragm also creates beautiful background blur and innovative glass construction that counteracts barrel expansion and contraction to avoid temperature-induced marking discrepancies.

Reference Displays

Canon's line of professional reference displays provide the highest level of image quality and versatility for demanding professionals in the cinema and broadcast industries. Drawing on its 80 years of imaging expertise, optical technology and color science, Canon has produced a display system with core technologies that deliver high accuracy, broad support for industry standards and smooth workflow. Canon Reference Displays feature the built-in HDR Toolkit, which was awarded the Hollywood Professional Association's 2018 Engineering Excellence Award. These tools help to ensure a finished product that delivers beautiful and vivid HDR imagery.
