EF Lenses for Cinema EOS
Perfected in Canon laboratories and proven in the field,
Canon’s EF lenses incorporate a rare array of the world’s most
EF Specialty Lenses
Macro Lenses
In revealing the finest detail and
achieving extraordinary edge-to-edge
accuracy at very shallow depth-of-field, macro photography can
be the ultimate test of optical performance. Canon’s superb lens
line includes six ultra-precise macro lenses and three screw-on
close-up lenses. Accompanied by the Life-Size Converter EF
and two Extension Tube accessories, Canon’s macro lens
array provide valuable imaging options for the EOS C300.
Tilt-Shift Lenses
TS-E Lenses incorporate tilt and shift
movement capabilities to bring shooting
advantages of technical view cameras to the EOS system. Tilt
movements alter the angle of the focal plane between the lens
and image sensor, modifying depth-of-field independently of
the lens aperture. Shift movements slide the lens’s optical axis
along the plane of the image sensor, enabling photographers
to correct or alter perspective to almost any angle and add
unimagined drama to a scene.
Fisheye and Fisheye Zoom Lenses
Super wide-angle and special effects
photography captures each subject from a
unique perspective. The Canon EF 8–15mm f/4L Fisheye USM
is the world’s first fisheye zoom lens to create circular images
with a 180° angle of view on full-frame DSLRs. With its ability to
focus as close as 8 inches (0.2m), the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8
Fisheye lens can realize exceptionally
sharp images throughout its
broad focus range.
L-Series Lenses
Canon L-series lenses
are highly regarded by professionals
who demand uncompromising optical performance in specialized
situations. These specialty lenses incorporate innovative Canon
technologies such as Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass, fluorite
and aspherical elements, and Super Spectra Multi Coating.
Canon L-series lenses have earned their place on the cameras of
serious photographers across the globe.
Cinematographers may now expand their
boundaries with the extensive selection of over
60 Canon EF/EF-S lenses, a robust line with over
70 million produced.

A World of Creative Options
advanced optical, microelectronic, and manufacturing technologies.
Many lenses make use of Canon’s advanced Peripheral Illumination
Correction feature, rendering beautiful
consistent color and brightness
across the entire image plane when
used with compatible cameras such
as the EOS C300. Their compatibility
with the EF mount of the EOS C300
not only gives the Cinema EOS
system access to the finest optics on
the market, it also opens up
new creative possibilities
with Canon specialty lenses
– including Tilt-Shift, Macro
and Canon’s amazing
EF 8–15mm f/4L Fisheye
USM zoom lens.
