(Refurbished Excellent) Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 - EF-mount Camera Lens

The Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 Compact-Servo Cinema Zoom Lens (EF-Mount) is a professional-oriented cine lens designed for filmmakers and cinematographers using Canon EF-mount cameras with Super35 or APS-C sensor formats. Covering a practical 18–80 mm zoom range with a constant T4.4 aperture, this lens provides consistent exposure across its range and a parfocal optical design that maintains focus while zooming — a crucial attribute for video work.

Built with cinema-friendly features, it offers cine-standard 0.8 MOD focus, 0.5 MOD zoom, and iris gears for seamless integration with follow-focus and rig systems, along with a 9-blade iris for pleasing out-of-focus highlights and controlled depth-of-field behavior. The lens’s color and image characteristics are matched to Canon’s CN-E cinema lineup, helping maintain consistent visuals across multiple optics on set.

One of the standout design elements is its compact and lightweight construction (approximately 1.2 kg), making it significantly more portable than traditional large cine zooms, yet still robust enough for professional use. Its performance is enhanced when paired with Canon Cinema EOS cameras — including autofocus, image stabilization support, and metadata communication — and it can be outfitted with optional accessories such as the ZSG-C10 Control Grip or servo drive units compatible with broadcast-style controllers for remote zoom, focus, and iris control.

Mechanically and optically tuned for video, the lens minimizes focus breathing and supports ergonomic zoom and focus control, making it well-suited for documentaries, narrative films, live events, and run-and-gun productions where flexibility and cinematic performance are key. With a 77 mm front filter thread, cine-standard gearing, and Canon’s lineage of cinema optical quality, this lens bridges run-and-gun convenience with professional imaging capability.
