With so many new PL mount Servo lenses coming out over the past few years, it’s no surprise that Canon is aggressively pursuing the market, today. The incredible new Canon CINE-SERVO 50-1000mm T5.0-8.9 lens covers a huge focal range and will definitely be valuable to people who shoot sports, wildlife, documentaries, and even news.
The Canon 50-1000mm even has a built-in 1.5x extender that will turn it into an even more impressive 75-1500mm. This lens has a variable aperture, and Its widest is 5.0 between the 50-560mm range. Near the end of the lens range when using the doubler, the maximum aperture is down to a 13.35. Obviously not a lens that would get much, if any, non-cinema indoor use. It also weighs a whopping 14.5 lbs!
The Canon 50-1000mm Cine-Servo lens is going to be available in both EF and PL mounts. Hopefully, our friends over at Duclos will make a multi-mount for it (it’s on our Christmas wish list!). If you’re salivating over the lens make sure you have a high limit on your credit card because it’s going to cost a whopping $78,000 at the time of writing, and is expected to be available in early 2015.
