Reference Information
This lens is a full manual lens for shooting movies.

  • EF Cinema lenses were developed primarily for movie production, and have a color balance typical for movies. This means that the color reproduction is warmer (shifted toward yellow in the CCI coordinate system) than that of EF lenses which are basically used to shoot still images. Therefore, when using both types of lens together, adjust the color balance (redo the white balance etc.) as necessary.
  • In general, the depth of field becomes shallow and the focusing range becomes extremely narrow near the widest aperture and when shooting a subject at close range. In addition, this tendency increases for lenses with longer focal lengths. When shooting images, carefully check the focusing condition using the zoom mode of the finder or other means, and shoot a sufficient number of test images before performing focus operations.
