Widest-ever Cine-Servo zoom lens

Posted on Oct 27, 2025 by Pro Moviemaker

Canon unveils its widest and lightest Cine-Servo zoom yet – the CN5x11 IAS T R1/P1, a compact 3kg lens built for both broadcast and cinema

The widest-ever Cine-Servo zoom has been revealed by Canon – the CN5x11 IAS T R1/P1, which has an 11-55mm focal length. Weighing 3kg, it is also the lightest lens in Canon’s Cine-Servo line-up, ideal for handheld, gimbal, crane or wire cam shooting. A built-in 1.5x extender increases the reach on Super 35mm cameras and enables full-frame compatibility on larger-sensor cameras.

The lens has Canon’s latest e-Xs V Digital Drive Unit for precise servo control, focus breathing correction and improved ergonomics, with USB-C connectivity. Its removable servo unit allows reconfiguration for broadcast or cinema use.

Available in RF or PL mount, the CN5x11 IAS T R1/P1 supports both Cooke /i and Zeiss eXtended Data in PL, while the RF version adds Dual Pixel CMOS AF as well as advanced distortion correction.
