First-class optical 4K quality

Broadcasters increasingly rely on 4K systems and workflows. Canon is responding by expanding its 4K lens series, which offers market-leading optical technology and excellent value for money. The CJ18ex7.6B KASE incorporates the optimum features of Canon's high-end 4K lens series and delivers sharp 4K resolution from centre to edge. The lens features precise detail, minimal chromatic aberration and colour fringing, and uses an optimised arrangement of fluorite and UD glass. The special glass coatings and the carefully designed internal lens barrel reduce lens reflections to a minimum. The CJ18ex7.6B KASE is therefore virtually ghost-free. To support HDR, images can be recorded with a wide color gamut, optimum clarity and contrast. Together with aberration correction based on the latest BT.2020 colour space, the lens delivers high image quality with realistic detail and impressive depth.

Compact, rugged and ergonomic

The CJ18ex7.6B KASE is suitable for shots from the shoulder - for example during interviews - and takes the strain off long-term shooting. The ergonomically shaped handle fits comfortably in the hand and at the same time offers better control and improved handling during use. The lightweight, yet rugged construction of this lens provides the durability and mobility that is essential when shooting in documentary and reportage environments.

Enhanced Compatibility

The CJ18ex7.6B KASE enables the readout of high-precision information for focus, zoom and iris control and has three 20-pin interfaces for easy and simultaneous integration into existing production environments and virtual systems. A high-resolution 16-bit encoder provides detailed image data acquisition with precise position detection, enabling easy calibration when merging the current and virtual image.
