The Canon 17-120mm/T2.95 Cabrio-type lens has a detachable handgrip, converting it from an ENG/EFP handheld zoom to a cinema zoom. The removable servo drive contains built-in lens motors for focus, iris, and zoom, with a rocker switch controlling the zoom and the focus ring rotation of 180° to be in line with existing ENG lenses.

It is extremely sensitive as well with a T/2.95 maximum aperture and this holds to 91mm, then at the long end of the lens, the lens ramps to T3.9 at 120mm.  This onloy becomes notable at the very tail end of the zoom.

The Canon connects with the hot shoe contacts in the lens mounts of newer PL-mount cameras and offers many cabling options for further compatibility.  It also features /i information for compatible systems as well. Compatibility with Preston, Arri, Heden or cMotion systems by detaching the handgrip for remote operation with any third party controller. The drive is self-centering, and will calibrate itself when reattached.

The Canon has a close focus of 85cm and Canon specs state that this is weatherproof and shock proof, though we urge our clients not to test or rely on this!
