Canon Cine-Servo 17-120mm T2.95-3.9 Zoom Lens with SS-41-IASD Full-Servo Kit (Canon RF)

With the addition of a native RF mount, the new Canon Cine-Servo 17-120mm Lens expands on the company's Cine-Servo portfolio. While the extra RF mount pins improve connection with RF-mount cameras like the EOS C400, enabling autofocus, distortion correction, and metadata output for virtual productions, it maintains the exceptional optical performance and portability of the prior generation. Camera operators can shoot as intended even while recording fast-moving scenes, like during sports broadcasts, thanks to the lens's e-Xs V servo drive mechanism, which improves focus and iris rates. Additionally, it has Focus Breathing Compensation, which is connected to the zoom functionality to automatically make accurate adjustments. Additionally, lens configuration data can be exported and imported from a USB memory drive, and maintenance history can be recorded and saved thanks to the incredibly flexible USB Type-C connector. Additionally, the Drive Unit can be disconnected for use in a movie-style setting.
Exceptional Optical Performance
corresponds to the specifications of the well-liked and acclaimed CINE-SERVO 17-120mm. This lens is compatible with HDR and has a consistently warm color balance that replicates skin tones. Additionally, from completely open to smallest aperture, the 11-blade iris produces a realistic bokeh that is almost spherical. When photographing bright subjects, the odd number of iris blades creates a mellow, diffused light beam.
8K, 4K, and RF Mount Support
Large-diameter aspherical lenses and anomalous dispersion glass are used in Canon's optical technology to provide optical performance that supports 8K cameras at all zoom levels. To achieve exceptional performance from the image's center to its edges, aberrations are minimized. It does not require an adapter to connect to RF-mount cameras.
Next-Gen Drive Unit
With quicker focus and iris speeds, Focus Breathing Compensation, and a USB-C connectivity, Canon's next-generation servo drive unit is just as functional and practical as ENG lenses. Additionally, the e-Xs V Drive Unit is detachable for manual cinema configuration.
Support Features
When producing virtual material, calibration is made simpler by the high-precision location recognition made possible by the high-resolution, 16-bit absolute value encoder. To output zoom, focus, and iris position data, the 20-pin connector can be converted to a virtual terminal.
Autofocus Support
With its larger distance measuring area and support for Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, this lens greatly lessens focus issues when filming in 4K. When used with compatible cameras, such the EOS C400, this feature can be utilized.
RF Mount Communication
With compatible cameras, this lens offers distortion and shading data for virtual production using RF mount connection. For common broadcast camera systems, 12-pin serial communication is an option in addition to RF mount communication.
