Canon Sumire Prime CINEMA CN-E 20MM / T1.5 FP X Meter PL Mount

The Sumire Look: Artistic Expression in 4K

The Canon Sumire Prime CN-E 20mm T1.5 FP X is a wide-angle cinema lens designed to bring a unique, artistically pleasing character to high-end productions. Unlike clinical lenses, the Sumire series offers a nuanced rendering of subjects with a subtle softness that enhances skin tones and creates a distinct cinematic texture. This 20mm prime is perfect for capturing expansive vistas or tight interior shots with a sophisticated, expressive feel.

Exceptional Low Light Performance and Bokeh

With a fast T1.5 aperture, this lens excels in challenging lighting conditions, allowing cinematographers to maintain shallow depth of field. The 11-blade iris produces smooth, circular bokeh that transitions beautifully from sharp focus to soft backgrounds. The optical design is specifically engineered to minimize focus breathing, ensuring consistent framing during critical focus pulls.

Professional Handling and Build Quality

Built for the rigors of professional sets, the CN-E 20mm features a 300-degree focus rotation for precise manual control. The lens maintains consistency across the Sumire range with unified gear positions and a 114mm front diameter, allowing for rapid lens changes without adjusting follow focus or matte box setups. It supports 105mm screw-on filters for added versatility.

Interchangeable PL Mount and Full-Frame Coverage

The PL mount provides native compatibility with 35mm Full-Frame and Super 35mm cinema cameras. For added flexibility, the mount can be converted to EF at authorized Canon service centers. Its large image circle ensures compatibility with the latest large-format sensors while maintaining a unified warm color tone across the entire Canon cinema lens lineup.
