Description
The Canon CN-E 30-300mm T2.95-3.7 (PL mount) is built for digital cinematography on APS-C or Super 35-equivalent sensors — including the ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Gemini and Canon EOS C500 Mark II — with an optical design suited to 4K and above.
Range and Aperture
A 10x zoom spans 30-300mm, covering the medium-to-long focal range most cinematic productions need, with a fast T2.95 aperture across most of the range and an 11-blade iris for smooth bokeh.
Handling
Focus, zoom and iris markings sit on both sides of the barrel, switchable between imperial and metric. Control rings hold consistent resistance for smooth, repeatable manual operation, with roughly 300° of focus rotation and 160° of zoom rotation. The lens shares a 136mm front diameter, gear positions and rotation angle with Canon’s 14.5-60mm.
