When it comes to professional cinematography and filmmaking, the Canon RF Prime Series Cinema Lenses stand out with their high-quality, durable, and innovative design. These lenses are specifically engineered for superior optical performance, delivering crisp, richly contrasted images that are synonymous with Canon's renowned Cinema EOS Color Science. This series comprises seven versatile lenses, each designed to support 8K and HDR shooting. The focal lengths covered include 14, 20, 24, 35, 50, 85, and 135 millimeters, providing a comprehensive range for all your cinematic needs.
Each lens in the series shares a common gear positioning and diameter, ensuring consistent usability and smooth focus rotation across all focal lengths. The RF Prime Series represents Canon's first cinema lenses with a native RF mount, ushering in a new era of manual cinema glass compatible with RF-mount cameras. This includes not only Canon's own EOS R-series cameras but also third-party cameras that utilize a native RF mount. These lenses are equipped with advanced features such as real-time metadata capture and in-camera electronic distortion correction. They are rated for 8K HDR image capture, producing stunning color rendition and detail, with sharp resolution extending from the center to the outer edges.
An 11-blade iris creates soft, beautiful light rays and stunning depth-of-field falloff, rendering warm color tones and beautiful skin tones that are characteristic of Canon's cinema lens family. Canon's advanced optical technology and lens coatings have been meticulously combined to achieve 8K optical performance. Various types of aberrations have been corrected to deliver beautiful imagery across the entire image. HDR video compatibility offers an expanded tonal range, closely resembling natural images. The lenses also feature an 8K-compatible chromatic aberration correction, reducing color bleeding, and a light-shielding design with optimized coatings to minimize ghosting and flaring.
The RF Prime lenses are designed for full-frame, large-format cameras, enabling impressive images using bokeh with a shallow depth of field. With a smooth and consistent 300-degree focus rotation, consistent gear positions, front diameter, and a compact, robust, and drip-proof design, these lenses offer a no-compromise, lightweight solution for professional productions. The RF Prime lenses also boast a newly-developed fixed ring design, making handheld operation more comfortable, intuitive, and efficient. High-speed data transfer enables instant transfer of lens metadata to the camera, allowing for distortion correction according to lens characteristics when shooting video with compatible cameras.
