News Image
Canon has unveiled the CJ20ex7.8B – a 2/3" portable 4K zoom lens for professional broadcast. It offers a 20x zoom ratio and focal-length range from 7.8mm to 156mm.

First demonstrated as a prototype at IBC 2015 in September, the new lens enables high-resolution, high-impact 4K video content for a range of applications, such as sporting events, news coverage, and documentaries, as well as indoor and outdoor location shooting for serial dramas.

The CJ20ex7.8B achieves a high level of performance, making it ideal for use with 4K broadcast cameras. Through optimal lens positioning and precise component assembly, the lens creates high-quality 4K resolution images from the centre to the peripheral areas of the image field. It features a built-in 2x extender, and is portable and flexible.

With a compact, lightweight body design, the lens delivers mobility in response to the needs of the broadcast industry, facilitating shoulder-mounted shooting and convenient transport.
