Canon CN-E 35mm T1.5 L F Cinema Prime – professional cine prime lens | Fotoplus
The Canon CN-E 35mm T1.5 L F Cinema Prime is a manual-focus cinema prime lens designed to cover both Full Frame and Super 35 sensors. Engineered for Cinema EOS cameras and professional film production, it delivers precise focus control, consistent mechanical performance, and reliable image quality for demanding workflows.
Its fast T1.5 maximum aperture is ideal for low-light shooting and for achieving an extremely shallow depth of field with a cinematic look. The 11-blade iris produces smooth, rounded out-of-focus highlights and aesthetically pleasing bokeh, making it well suited for narrative, portrait, and commercial filmmaking.
Precision focus control for cinematic workflows
The lens features a 300° smooth, continuous focus rotation from close focus to infinity, enabling accurate, repeatable focus pulls—essential for professional cine operation.
- Minimized focus breathing for stable framing during focus transitions
- Standard 8 MOD cine gears for focus and aperture rings
- Smooth, consistent mechanical resistance for professional handling
Reliable optical and mechanical design
Its advanced optical construction helps compensate for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing focus marking shifts caused by temperature changes. This ensures accuracy during long shooting days and in varying environments.
Dual-sided focus scales with angled rear markings provide excellent readability for both camera operators and focus pullers from either side of the camera. The dust- and water-resistant design reduces maintenance needs and supports dependable operation in everyday production conditions.
