CINEMA EOS SYSTEM
Designed from the ground up, the Canon Cinema EOS System was created to serve the
evolving needs of the cinematography world. Beginning with the revolutionary EOS C300
Digital Cinema Camera, the Cinema EOS System also includes the EOS C500 4K Digital
Cinema Camera, the EOS-1D C 4K DSLR Cinema Camera – which is the first hybrid
DSLR camera to record in full 4K, the versatile EOS C100 Digital Video Camera, and
a complete lineup of Cinema Lenses. Also compatible with the evolving lineup of
Canon EF Lenses and complemented by an extensive service, support and
education infrastructure, the Canon Cinema EOS System offers amazing
versatility to help storytellers express their creativity.
Canon’s expanding lineup of dedicated Super 35mm Cinema Lenses is
engineered to meet the most demanding requirements of high-end
cinematography. Covering a wide range of popular cinema focal
lengths in a series of Zooms, Compact Zooms and Prime Lenses,
it’s one of the most complete lineups of lenses available to any
filmmaker. Whether you are involved in film production, TV
commercials, TV dramas, independent, video or film school
production, these are the lenses you need for all reasons.
factors and markings that have been optimized
for motion picture production, and represent
the beginning of an evolving family of cinema
primes. Canon Cinema Prime Lenses are also
compatible – under manual operation – with
all Canon EOS DSLR models, including the full-
frame EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III, as well
as the EOS 7D and EOS 60D models that use
APS-C sized image sensors.
Cinema Lens Gearing and Control
Canon Cinema Lenses meet cinematographers’
highest expectations of control over focus, iris
and zoom. Wide rotation angles – especially on
focus controls – combine with large, highly
visible scales, high mechanical accuracy of
each control, and a carefully implemented
tactile resistance that augments operational
precision. A unique optical design that
significantly minimizes focus breathing
facilitates a new level of creative focus pulls.
The Cinema Zoom lenses’ associated three
gears are precisely matched in location and
diameter to facilitate convenient lens exchange
during a shoot. The same is true for the Cinema
Compact Zoom lens series, and for the series of
Cinema Prime lenses.
