CANON CN-E 18-80mm T4.4L IS KAS S EF
A compact and affordable servo cine lens that offers high-end features to a wider audience. A revolution in video production. The Canon CN-E18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S large-format offers high-end cinematic servo features such as super-smooth servo zoom and focusing at an affordable price.

Professional film optics for filmmakers
From films and documentaries to weddings and business videos, the Canon CN-E18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S (Compact Servo Film Lens) is designed to meet the needs of advanced amateur and professional filmmakers. With a powerful 4.4x optical zoom and a focal length of 18-80mm, it's an ideal all-in-one lens, weighing just 1.2kg but with precise servo zoom and focus functions for a smooth, professional result on all your images.

All the advantages of EF mount compatibility
Designed to work with compatible Canon EF mount DSLRs and interchangeable-lens camcorders, the Canon Compact Servo Cinema Lens takes advantage of Canon's wide range of EF mount functions, including 3 image stabilisation modes and super-fast autofocus. A powerful Dual Pixel CMOS AF means you can focus quickly and accurately with a single button, while AF lets you follow your subject without losing focus. Peripheral illumination correction helps maintain smooth illumination throughout the frame, while the lens and camera are in constant communication, from acquiring lens metadata for easier post-production to even allowing you to select a T-number or F-number in the camera's viewfinder.

Beautiful bokeh photos
One of the characteristics of premium videos is the depth of field, which helps to draw the eye and focus the viewer's attention on the subject. It's easy to achieve a unique, blurred bokeh effect in your videos – Canon's Compact Servo Cinema Lens uses a 9-blade iris, resulting in points of light arranged in a pleasing bokeh effect that will make your work stand out.

Reduced focus breathing
Using photo lenses in video projects can result in focus breathing problems. Focus breathing is a subtle distortion of perspective that happens when a lens zooms in and out. However, because the Canon Compact Servo Cine Lens is a video-specific lens, it is designed to reduce focus breathing and avoid distortion as much as possible.

4K quality optics
Canon's Compact Servo Cinema Lens is built to last. Canon engineers have made sure that the resolving power is accurate from the middle of the lens to the edge, while the modulation transfer function (MTF) has been optimised for the requirements of 4K cameras. With reduced chromatic aberration and colour balance perfectly in tune with other Canon Cinema EOS lenses, the Canon Compact Servo Cinema Lens delivers incredible image quality whether you're shooting in 4K or HD.

Optional ZSG-C10 detachable servo handle
Designed exclusively for the compact servo cinema lens, the Canon ZSG-C10 zoom grip creates new shooting opportunities by enabling very smooth remote activation of servo zoom and One-Shot AF. Connected to the lens barrel via a 20-pin cable, the ZSG-C10 can be used while mounted on the lens barrel (for comfortable shoulder recording) or detached from the lens and used by hand. The ZSG-C10 features an easy-to-control switch
