Canon CINE-SERVO 17-120mm T2.95-3.9 (RF-Mount)

About: Canon CINE-SERVO 17-120mm T2.95-3.9 (RF-Mount)

The new CINE-SERVO 17-120mm builds upon the legacy of the company’s CINE-SERVO line, with the added benefit of a native RF mount. It carries on the previous model's outstanding optical performance and mobility, while the additional pins of the RF mount increase communication with RF-mount cameras such as the EOS C400, empowering auto focus, distortion correction and metadata output for virtual productions.

The lens is equipped with the e-Xs V servo drive unit, with improving focus and iris speeds, allowing camera operators to shoot just as intended even when capturing rapidly moving subjects such as during sports broadcasts. It also features Focus Breathing Compensation which is linked with the zoom function to automatically make precise corrections. Additionally, the highly versatile USB Type-C terminal makes it possible to export and import lens setting data from a USB memory drive, as well as to record and save maintenance history. The Drive Unit can also be detached to be used in cinema style.

Versatile 17-120mm with outstanding optical performance

Matches the specification of the popular and award-winning CINE-SERVO 17-120mm. This lens is designed with a consistently warm color balance that reproduces skin tones and is compatible with HDR. Also, the 11-blade iris gives natural bokeh that is nearly circular from fully open to minimum aperture. The odd number of iris blades produce a soft and diffused light beam when shooting bright subjects.

Supports 8K/4K cameras

Canon’s optical technologies use large-diameter aspherical lenses and anomalous dispersion glass delivering optical performance that supports 8K cameras throughout the zoom range.

Next-Generation eX-s V Servo Drive Unit

Canon’s next-generation servo drive unit has the same operability and usability ENG lenses with faster focus and iris speed, Focus Breathing Compensation, and an USB-C connector. The eX-s V Drive Unit can also be detached to be used in manual-style cinema configuration.

• Improved Servo Control - Faster focus and iris speed.
• Focus Breathing Compensation - Minimizes image distortion when racking focus. This setting can easily be turned on or off depending on preference.
• New USB-C Port - Allows Drive Unit settings to be saved and loaded into other lenses. Also users can record and save maintenance history.

Remote and Virtual Support

The high-resolution, 16-bit absolute value encoder enables high-precision location detection, making calibration easier when creating virtual content. The 20-pin connector can be switched to a virtual terminal to output zoom, focus, and iris position information.

Supports AF functions

This lens supports Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with expanded distance measuring area to significantly reduce focus problems in 4K shooting. This function can be used when combined with compatible cameras such as C400.

Supports virtual production with RF mount communication

This lens supports RF mount communication which provides distortion and shading data for virtual production with compatible cameras. In addition to RF mount communication. 12-pin serial communication for standard broadcast camera system is available.
