Canon Announces RF Prime Cine Lenses

Canon unveils its very first selection of cine lenses designed to work natively with its full frame mirrorless RF mount.

Just before the beginning of IBC 2023 in Amsterdam, Canon went live with an announcement about their new range of RF mount cinema prime lenses.  Up until now, video shooters were adapting lenses for RF cameras, with EF mount lenses being attached via Canon's excellent EOS EF EOS-R adapter.

Canon was quick to highlight the tremendous benefits of using native glass on their cameras, saying: "The native RF mount offers high speed communication between the lens and camera body, with the enhanced design allowing for a more stable and comfortable experience when operating."

Users of Canon's cinema range of cameras, the Canon EOS C70 and the Canon EOS R5 C will be delighted to hear these lenses are inbound, as will shooters who use RED cameras, where an RF mount is a great option following this announcement.

The full list of new lenses is as follows:

CN-R14mm T3.1 L F
CN-R20mm T1.5 L F
CN-R24mm T1.5 L F
CN-R35mm T1.5 L F
CN-R50mm T1.3 L F
CN-R85mm T1.3 L F
CN-R135mm T2.2 L F

Canon showcased the new lenses at IBC, and are planning on releasing them across a period of weeks starting some time in February 2024. Needless to say, Hireacamera will be one of the first hire houses to have these lenses available for hire, something that will be music to the ears of the many videographers who use our service on a regular basis.
