		<description><![CDATA[The Canon CN-E 14.5-60mm T2.6 L SP Cinema Zoom Lens with PL Mount is designed expressly for digital cinematography with cameras that have an APS-C or Super 35-equivalent sensor and a PL mount, including Canon's EOS C300 PL. Featuring advanced optical technology designed by Canon, the lens is suitable for any capturing any size HD image up to and including 4K resolution.

With a focal length range of 14.5-60mm, the 4.1x cinema zoom lens is designed to cover the wider end of the focal lengths typically required by cinematic productions, and its wide-angle length of 14.5mm puts it among the best in its class. Maximum aperture is a very fast T2.6 through the entire range, and the 11-blade iris enables a smooth bokeh for out-of-focus areas of the frame.

The lens was designed with working professionals in mind, with easy-to-read focus, zoom, and iris markings engraved into angled surfaces on both sides of the lens, so you can read the setting from either side of a camera – or from behind it. Depending on the production's needs, focus markings can be switched from standard to metric. The lens facilitates manual operation that's subtle, smooth, precise, and repeatable. Control rings are designed to provide and maintain the proper amount of resistance so you can operate with a consistent torque. The focus rotation angle is about 300°; for zoom, it's approximately 160°.

The CN-E 14.5-60mm T2.6 L SP lens complements the other lens in the line in more ways than just focal length range: Their shared 136mm front diameter, gear positions, and rotation angle make them almost "hot-swappable" when they're used with a shared matte box or follow focus.

<strong>Internal Focus Design</strong>
    The internal geared focus design of the lens minimizes focus-induced changes, known as "breathing"

<strong>Cinematic Blurring</strong>
    An 11-blade aperture diaphragm results in soft, cinematic blurring of out-of-focus areas

<strong>Special Glass &#038; Construction</strong>
    Designed to counteract barrel expansion and contraction, the special glass and the construction of the lens suppress temperature-induced marking discrepancies and flange-back changes

<strong>Broad Focal Length Range</strong>
    The 14.5-60mm focal length range of the lens covers a great portion of the range most commonly used in cinema shooting

<strong>Large Aspherical Lenses</strong>
    Fluorite and aspherical lens elements reduce distortion and give high optical performance

<strong>Anti-Reflective Coating</strong>
    The anti-reflective coating of the lens helps reduce ghosting or flaring

<strong>Switchable Unit for Focus Marking</strong>
    The outer piece of the marked focus rings can be switched from metric to non-metric labeling

<strong>Marked on Both Sides</strong>
    Markings are visible from either side of the lens

<strong>Better Marking Visibility</strong>
    Focus, zoom, and iris markings are printed on angled surfaces, making them easier to read from behind the camera

<strong>Unified Front Lens Diameter, Gear Position</strong>
    A single front lens diameter and uniform gear positions across the line of lenses eliminate the need to move or adjust accessories when switching between lenses

<strong>Flange-Back Adjustment Mechanism</strong>
    A covered flange-back mechanism is included for more accurate back-focus

<strong>Supports Standard Accessories</strong>
    The lens can be used with standard accessories such as follow focus gears, marking disks, and matte boxes

<strong>Ergonomic &#038; Efficient</strong>
    Control rings offer the right amount of resistance and consistent operating torque

<strong>Light &#038; Compact</strong>
    Smaller and lighter than similar movie lenses of the same range, making them more comfortable to work with, hour after hour]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 100mm/T2.1 CF Cine Lens (EF Mount) is part of the second generation of CP cinema lenses that were the first to offer full-frame 35mm coverage of large sensor DSLRs (such as the Canon 5D Mark II). What distinguishes the CP.2 from its PL-mount-only predecessor is its interchangeable lens mount, which allows the included Canon EF mount to be easily swapped out for an optional Nikon F or cinema-standard PL mount. For the first time, a single, affordable, professional quality lens can be used on both cinema and still cameras, opening up creative possibilities that keep your rig lightweight, versatile, and on budget. Based on the Planar design, this fast telephoto extends the reach of your camera while also allowing for close focus up to 2.5 ft (0.7m).

<strong>Ready for the Future</strong>
    The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses cover a full-frame image format without vignetting. Combined with the interchangeable mount, the Compact Prime CP.2 offers the possibility to upgrade to any number of existing or future cine and still cameras while still utilizing the same set of lenses.

        -Full-frame coverage (24 x 36 mm) for focal lengths 21 to 100 mm
        -Common aperture of T2.1 for the standard lens set
        -Sweet spot effect with APS-C sensors 

<strong>Unique 14-Blade Iris</strong>
    The iris opening of the Compact Prime CP.2 lenses is created by 14 high precision blades. It stays consistently round and symmetrical over the entire T-stop range. This translates into natural and pleasing out-of-focus highlights and a smooth bokeh. Together they help create and capture special moments on film. 

<strong>High Optical Performance</strong>
    The modern lens design as well as the cine manufacturing process and tight tolerances ensure low distortion, high resolution and excellent color rendition for sharp, punchy images.

        -High resolution and contrast
        -Low distortion
        -Color matched 

    -Great flare suppression through T* anti-reflex coating and internal light traps 

    -Calibrated lens scales 

    -Standard focus and iris gear positions 

    -Stable exposure due to manual operated aperture 

    -Robust and reliable cine style housing 

    -Longer focus rotation and a manual focus 

    -Consistent front diameter from lens to lens

		<description><![CDATA[The Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 21mm/T2.9 Cine Lens (EF Mount) is part of the second generation of CP cinema lenses that were the first to offer full-frame 35mm coverage of large sensor DSLRs (such as the Canon 5D Mark II). What distinguishes the CP.2 from its PL-mount-only predecessor is its interchangeable lens mount, which allows the included Canon EF mount to be easily swapped out for an optional Nikon F or standard-cinema PL mount. For the first time, a single, affordable, professional quality lens can be used on both cinema and still cameras, opening up creative possibilities that keep your rig lightweight, versatile, and on budget.

<strong>Interchangeable Mount</strong>
    The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses are the world's first cine lenses designed for use with DSLR cameras. The interchangeable mount guarantees high flexibility for present and future use in any situation and for a wide range of camera platforms.

        Allows a mix of DSLR systems with traditional cine cameras, for maximum flexibility on set
        No need for adapter solutions anymore
        Three different mounts available (PL, EF and F mount) 

<strong>Ready for the Future</strong>
    The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses cover a full-frame image format without vignetting. Combined with the interchangeable mount, the Compact Prime CP.2 offers the possibility to upgrade to any number of existing or future cine and still cameras while still utilizing the same set of lenses.

        Full-frame coverage (24 x 36 mm) for focal lengths 21 to 100 mm
        Common aperture of T2.1 for the standard lens set
        Sweet spot effect with APS-C sensors 

<strong>Unique 14-Blade Iris</strong>
    The iris opening of the Compact Prime CP.2 lenses is created by 14 high precision blades. It stays consistently round and symmetrical over the entire T-stop range. This translates into natural and pleasing out-of-focus highlights and a smooth bokeh. Together they help create and capture special moments on film. 

<strong>High Optical Performance</strong>
    The modern lens design as well as the cine manufacturing process and tight tolerances ensure low distortion, high resolution and excellent color rendition for sharp, punchy images.

        High resolution and contrast
        Low distortion
        Color matched 

    Great flare suppression through T* anti-reflex coating and internal light traps 

    Calibrated lens scales 

    Standard focus and iris gear positions 

    Stable exposure due to manual operated aperture 

    Robust and reliable cine style housing 

    Longer focus rotation and a manual focus 

    Consistent front diameter from lens to lens

		<description><![CDATA[The Zeiss 18mm t/3.6 CP.2 Compact Prime Cine Lens with EF Mount is an 18mm fixed focal length lens with a flexible design so that it can be used on both cinema and DSLR cameras.
