Description
The Canon CN-E 17-120mm T2.95 combines the form factor and functionality of a broadcast ENG-style lens with cinema zoom optical performance, for Super 35 sensors at 4K acquisition. Available by special order only, subject to availability.
Zoom and Handling
A 7x zoom covers 17-120mm at a constant T2.95, with an 11-blade iris for circular bokeh. The detachable servo drive unit suits a single shoulder-mounted operator — zoom on a right-hand rocker, focus and iris manual on the left — or removes entirely for fully manual cinema-style operation. A three-group inner focus system keeps breathing minimal for stable framing during rack focus.
Connectivity and Build
A standard 12-pin connector handles camera communication, or the lens mount itself when attached to a compatible body; three 20-pin connectors below the servo support third-party zoom, focus and iris controllers, including Canon’s FPD-400D and ZSD-300D. Focus markings are angled and visible from both sides in metric and imperial. The lens supports 15mm/19mm rod-mounted lens support and transmits metadata to Cinema EOS bodies through the mount.
