The Canon Cine-Servo 25-250mm is the latest addition to Canon's line of versatile zoom lenses. A familiar focal length in the motion picture world but in a lighter, smaller package with features not usually paired at such an affordable price making the 25-250mm a fantastic tool for documentary and ENG filmmakers. The lens features a high 10x zoom magnification, wide focal length range of 25mm to 250mm, and a 180º smooth rotating focus ring. Acknowledging that broadcasters often need to control zoom, focus and iris/aperture in different ways than filmmakers, Canon has developed this zoom lens with full external servo control for drama, documentary and other broadcast productions. The servo drive unit is compatible with industry-standard protocols for control from a number of lens controllers including Canon’s standard broadcast lens controllers (ZSD-300D/FPD-400D) and multiple industry standard cinema lens controllers. The drive unit can be easily removed for cinema-style shoots and can be easily re-attached without any manual re-alignment. A 16-bit metadata output enables connection to virtual studio systems.
