Lenses to expand
your vision.
The XL2 is designed primarily for the high performance XL interchangeable
lens system, but is also easily fitted with an optional EF adapter to make full
use of Canon’s pro-quality L-series EF lenses. Manual focus is possible with
all capable lenses and in all shooting modes. When combined with the
variety of professional presets and filters available, as well as the remarkable
Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Optical Image Stabiliser, this camcorder system is
capable of virtually anything.
The lens’ six iris aperture leaves have
nearly circular shaped blades that create
a beautifully natural blurring effect
when shooting a short depth-of-field.
This brilliant new lens fully supports
manual focus functionality and comes
as standard with the XL2 kit.
XL-SERIES
INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
Using the specially designed XL mount
that supports the 1/3" 3CCD system, this
series of three lenses provides a 35mm
equivalent focal length range from 26.6
to 1018mm. The new 20x Zoom is a
perfect multi-purpose lens. The 3x Zoom
Video lens and 16x Zoom Manual lens
offer even more creative flexibility. All are
designed and engineered exclusively by
Canon
–
making full use of more than
70 years of experience in the field.
CANON PROFESSIONAL EOS LENSES
The full spectrum of Canon’s Professional
35mm L-Series EF lenses are at your
disposal with the optional EF adapter.
This collection of lenses has proven to be
essential for any serious photographer
and invaluable to many filmmakers and
videographers. They are particularly
useful for sports, wildlife and astronomy
applications as their magnification
increases by approximately 7.8x when
mounted on the XL2.
