The Canon CN-E 85mm T1.3 L F Cine is an EF-mount telephoto cinema prime lens, designed for Canon C-series Cinema EOS cameras, full-frame EOS DSLR bodies, and any EF-mount video-capable system.
Its ultra-fast T1.3 aperture delivers outstanding performance in low-light environments while producing a cinematic shallow depth of field. The 85mm focal length is ideal for narrative close-ups, interviews, and portrait-driven storytelling.
Cinematic Bokeh and Manual Aperture Control
The 11-blade iris, engineered for a near-perfect circular aperture:
- Produces smooth, expressive bokeh
- Creates aesthetically pleasing round highlights
- Enhances subject separation in portrait compositions
The de-clicked, fully manual aperture ring ensures smooth and precise exposure control, even when used on DSLR bodies.
300° Focus Rotation – Built for Cine Precision
The lens features:
- A 300° focus rotation for accurate focus pulls
- Industry-standard cine gearing
- Dual-sided, angled focus and aperture markings
These elements allow clear visibility and repeatable control from either side of the camera—critical in professional film production environments.
Designed for 4K Production Standards
The optical design meets modern 4K production requirements, delivering:
- High sharpness across the full-frame image circle
- Strong contrast and color fidelity
- Stable performance throughout the aperture range
Advanced engineering minimizes scale shifts caused by barrel expansion or contraction due to temperature changes, ensuring reliable accuracy in varied environments.
The Canon CN-E 85mm T1.3 L F Cine Lens is an EF-mount long lens for Canon's C-series cinema cameras, for full-frame EOS DSLRs, and for any video-capable cameras that accept EF-mount lenses.
The aperture is a fast 1.3 and lets you get superior shots in low light. The diaphragm is made up of 11-blades and is as round as can be, and along with the fast aperture it can produce impressive bokeh and beautiful circular highlights.
