Canon Announces CN20x50 Telephoto Zoom Lens

Canon has announced the CN20x50, a new ultra-telephoto zoom lens for sport and nature TV production.

The CN20x50 is the first lens of its type to combine a built-in 1.5x extender, 20x magnification and a removable servo drive, with a native 50-1000mm focal range that expands to a huge 75-1500mm.
Designed to be a portable solution for broadcast productions using super 35mm cameras – whether HD, UHD or 4K – the CN20x50 features a removable updated servo drive unit.
Weighing 6.6kg, the CN20x50 is portable and lightweight and offers strong focal length and zooming capabilities.
Compatible with a wide range of cameras, it also supports communication between lens and camera and will be available in both EF-mount and PL-mount variants. The EF-mount version utilises Canon's own system, while the PL-mount variant supports Cooke's /i Technology standard. Both models feature a 12-pin serial connection for integration with typical broadcast equipment.

CN20x50 key features:

• Ultra-telephoto lens with class-leading focal length
• Capture every detail in sports and nature TV broadcast
• 4K quality
• Range of shooting and expression
• Portable and durable with intuitive operation.
