MELVILLE, N.Y., Sep 04, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has announced
today the new CN-E35mm T1.5 L F single-focal-length Cinema prime
lens designed for large-format single-sensor digital cinematography
cameras employing Super 35mm or full-frame 35mm imagers. Delivering
outstanding optical performance in contemporary 4K / 2K / HD motion
imaging, the new Canon CN-E35mm T1.5 L F prime lens is the sixth
member of Canon’s line of compact, precision-matched EF-mount Cinema
prime lenses, which also includes 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm
EF-mount models.
Collectively, Canon’s Cinema prime lens family delivers a wide range of
the most important choices in focal lengths to address a myriad of
creative digital cinematography choices. All six Canon Cinema prime
lenses provide a full-frame 36mm x 24mm image circle for full
compatibility with the Canon EOS-1D C, EOS C500, EOS C300 Digital Cinema
cameras, the EOS 5D Mark III and EOS-1D X DSLR cameras, the EOS C100
Digital Video Camera and EF-mount cameras made by other manufacturers.
The lenses also feature consistent color balance, minimal focus
breathing, water-resistant rubber gaskets, and an 11-blade aperture
diaphragm to help achieve creative depth-of-field manipulation and
pleasing “bokeh” effects. The six Canon Cinema prime lenses are also
designed to facilitate production with uniform stepless gear-positioning
rings for iris and focus, with an identical 300 smooth rotation angle
on the focus ring. These control rings – switchable from feet to metric
labeling – maintain just the right amount of resistance with consistent
operating torque. Lens barrels are engraved with easy-to-read scale
markings, and consistent 114mm front lens diameters can accommodate
screw-on filters and other accessories.
“As with all Canon Cinema prime lenses, the new Canon CN-E35mm T1.5 L F
lens has been crafted to meet the creative requirements of the most
discerning cinematographers, directors and producers,” said Yuichi
Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging
Technologies Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. “Filmmakers indicated
a need for this lens in our lineup and with its launch, we now offer six
cinema prime lenses covering some of the most important focal lengths.”
Canon EF Mount Advantages
All Canon Cinema prime lenses feature a genuine Canon EF-mount with
electronic contacts that interface with corresponding contacts on Canon
cameras for direct communication between each device. This communication
allows lens data – including F-numbers – to be displayed in the
viewfinder. Both the F-number and the lens model name are also recorded
in the camera’s video file as metadata. The new upcoming firmware
announced today for the Canon Cinema EOS C500, EOS C300 and EOS C100
cameras will provide Canon proprietary features, such as the Peripheral
Illumination Correction function, for the CN-E14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm and
135mm lenses and is scheduled to be available by the end of 2013. Such
features are scheduled to be available for the new CN-E35mm lens in 2014.
