Just in time for NAB 2017 comes the Canon 70 – 200mm T4.4 zoom lens in EF mount. Covering the Super35mm format and weighing slightly more than two-and-three-quarter pounds, this lens is a bit longer than 7 inches and covers commonly used focal lengths, maintaining a constant T4.4 over the entire zoom range. As you would expect from a cine lens, this one is parfocal, which means that focus does not shift as you change focal length (zoom). Fitting into Canon’s lineup of cinema lenses, the 70 – 200 matches the color characteristics of Canon’s

If you’ve taken the plunge and invested in one, two, or a full set of cine-style lenses, you’ll now want to take the best care possible of your lenses. Not only will the lenses function better if they’re properly maintained, but you’ll be protecting your (probably substantial) financial investment. Most cine-style lens care and maintenance is the same as for still or ENG-type lenses, so if you’ve made the switch from these other lens types, you’ll know the drill.

The script is reflected on the mirror, and a presenter—a newscaster, for example—can read the script from the mirror while looking directly into the camera, since the camera is right behind the mirror. This allows the presenter to achieve natural eye contact with the audience without having to memorize the script or

In an earlier article comparing cinema lenses and still photography lenses, I made the point that photography lenses could be modified with aftermarket accessories and procedures to make them more “video and cinema friendly.” Since DSLR and mirrorless cameras started to shoot video, there has been a massive interest in using the readily available photography-lens catalog for shooting video. Many of these lenses, optically speaking, are
