The Canon Cine-Servo 17-120mm T2.95 is the most versatile and hybrid cinema zoom on the market: designed by Canon to fuse in a single lens the functionality and ergonomics of a motorised ENG broadcast-style zoom with the optical precision and construction of a professional cinema zoom. Spanning a focal length of 17 to 120mm with a 7x zoom factor, it covers continuously from wide angle to telephoto with Super 35 coverage and full optical performance in 4K — all in a compact and lightweight body with a detachable servo drive unit that allows the operator to switch from broadcast to cinema mode in seconds. It is the single-lens solution for the vast majority of shooting situations.
Its construction is robust, dust- and shock-resistant, and its ergonomic design integrates an ENG-style zoom handle with a zoom rocker, compatible with Canon’s standard broadcast lens controllers and with the leading industry-standard cinema lens controllers. With an aperture of T2.95 from 17 to 91mm and T3.9 at 120mm, an 11-blade iris for circular, organic bokeh, a 180° focus rotation, 16-bit metadata output for virtual studio systems, dual 0.8 and 0.5 MOD gears for focus, zoom and iris, and a mount available in both PL and EF, the Cine-Servo 17-120mm is the definitive tool for drama, documentary, broadcast, and any environment where operator mobility and focal versatility are the top priorities.
Perfect for: cinematographers, operators, and camera crews seeking maximum focal versatility in a single Super 35 lens — 17 to 120mm at T2.95, detachable servo, 11-blade iris, 16-bit metadata and full compatibility with both cinema and broadcast workflows —, for drama, documentary, series, events, broadcasts, and any production where operator mobility, the versatility of the 17-120mm range, and the ability to work in either cinema or broadcast mode are equally non-negotiable.
