Canon Cine Lenses

The Canon name has been a leader in optics since 1937, with a legacy spanning still photography, broadcast, and cinema. In the motion picture world, Canon lenses are celebrated for both their history and their innovation. The K-35 primes, honored with an Academy Award, remain among the most sought-after vintage full-frame lenses, prized for their speed and expressive rendering. The FD primes, when rehoused, extend Canon’s vintage aesthetic into modern production. On the contemporary side, Canon’s Cine-Servo zooms provide the reach and versatility needed for documentary, broadcast, and feature work, while the Sumire primes deliver a modern full-frame design with a subtle, filmic softness that distinguishes them from clinical glass. Together, these optics reflect Canon’s unique ability to combine heritage, character, and professional reliability.
