Canon CINE-SERVO 40-1200mm T5.0-10.8 Lens for PL Mount

Your Vision, Extended

The CINE SERVO 40–1200mm T5.0–10.8 is a remarkable achievement in Canon optics, offering a lightweight and compact design (approx. 14.6 lbs. and approx. 15.9 inches in length) while delivering unprecedented focal length.

Its size makes it ideal for either tripod use or car/aerial mounting, and the increased magnification allows you to capture details more closely. The lens natively covers Super 35mm sensors, with the integrated 1.5x extender further expanding its versatility to support full-frame sensor cameras.

Ultra-long 40-1200mm zoom range

The Canon CINE-SERVO 40-1200mm gives you the power to shoot standard wide angles and extreme close-ups without ever swapping lenses. You even get a built-in 1.5x extender that pushes your reach to an incredible 1800mm. Those once impossible super telephoto shots are finally within your grasp.

Portable and lightweight design

Despite all that zoom power, this gear is surprisingly easy to handle. Weighing in at 14.6 pounds and measuring 16 inches long, the compact footprint fits perfectly on a standard tripod. You can also easily rig it to a moving car or fly it on an aerial drone for sweeping cinematic angles.

8K resolution and warm colors

Expect your video to look sharp and vibrant from corner to corner. The glass easily handles ultra detailed 8K resolution while keeping the overall color palette consistently warm. This natural balance helps human skin tones look beautiful right out of the camera.

Beautiful background blur

You can effortlessly create that classic cinematic look. An 11-blade internal iris generates a wonderfully smooth and circular background blur.

High-speed USB-C drive unit

A newly designed motor makes zooming and focusing faster than ever. By simply plugging in a USB-C power source, you dramatically speed up the lens movements.

Smart camera communication

The lens actively talks to your camera while you shoot. It uses advanced technology to automatically fix minor lighting drops or edge distortions on the fly. This smart communication saves you hours of tedious correction work when you finally sit down to edit your video.

The CINE SERVO 40-1200mm T5.0-10.8 is a remarkable achievement in optics, offering a lightweight and compact design (approx. 14.6 lbs. and approx. 16.0 inches in length) while delivering unprecedented focal length. The built-in 1.5x extender allows the lens to reach an 1800mm equivalent focal length on Super 35mm sensors. Its size makes it ideal for either tripod use or car/aerial mounting, and the increased magnification allows you to capture details more closely. The lens natively covers Super 35mm sensors, with the integrated 1.5x extender further expanding its versatility to support full-frame sensor cameras.

Innovation extends beyond optics. The drive unit has been redesigned with Focus Breathing Compensation and a newly-added USB-C terminal. When paired with USB-PD, it increases the speed of the zoom and focus servo motor. In the demanding world of professional productions such as sports, live events, cinema, and houses of worship, the CINE-SERVO 40-1200mm keeps up and helps to elevate every shot.

Ultra-long Zoom Range 40-1200mm (60-1800mm with Built-in Extender)
With just one lens, you can cover everything from standard to super-telephoto-unlocking dynamic, powerful shots that were previously out of reach. The built-in 1.5x extender expands the focal range to 1800mm equivalent focal length on Super 35mm sensors.

Optimal Portability for a Wide Range of Productions
This lens is 16.0 inches in length, and weighs just 14.6 lbs., which is similar to the CINE-SERVO 50-1000mm lens. The lens also keeps the same front diameter and the same zoom, focus, and iris ring positions as the CINE-SERVO 50-1000mm lens, allowing you to use it in similar situations with the same accessories.

Built-in 1.5x Extender Enables Support for Full-frame Sensor
The lens natively covers Super 35mm sensors. In addition, when the extender is engaged, the image circle is increased, and the lens will cover full-frame 35mm sensors.

8K Camera Support and HDR Compatibility
Canon's optical technologies provide the optical performance to support 8K resolution throughout the zoom range. Aberrations are controlled as much as possible for outstanding performance from the center of the image to the edges.

Consistent Color Balance
The entire cinema lens series is designed with a consistently warm color balance that reproduces skin tones more beautifully for better depiction of subject textures. Color reproduction remains stable even after changing lenses, reducing color adjustment with each shot and time and effort for postproduction. In addition to the color consistency of the cinema lens series, the coating design optimally controls ghosting effects.

Beautiful Bokeh with 11-blade Iris
The 11-blade iris diaphragm gives natural bokeh that is nearly circular from fully open to minimum aperture. The odd number of iris blades produce a soft and diffused glow on high-brightness subjects, with no overlap of diffracted light in the opposite direction, giving a soft and diffused glow.

Newly-developed Drive Unit
The drive unit has been redesigned with Focus Breathing Compensation and a USB-C port. When the USB-C port is powered via USB-C Power Delivery, the zoom servo speed from full wide to full tele improves from approximately 1.5 seconds to around 1 second. In addition, the focus servo speed is improved as well, decreasing from roughly 1.8 seconds to approximately 1.3 seconds.

ARIA and ALAC Compatible
The lens features ARIA (Automatic Restoration of Illumination Attenuation) and ALAC (Automatic Lens Aberration Compensation) compatibility. ARIA compatibility enhances illumination performance, and ALAC compatibility provides aberration correction with compatible cameras.

PL-mount Communications
Along with Cooke/i Technology support, the PL mount supports ZEISS eXtended Data for added convenience.
