Lenses to expand your vision.
The XL2 is designed primarily for the high performance XL interchangeable lens system, but is also easily fitted with an optional EF adapter to make full use of Canon’s pro-quality L-series EF lenses. Manual focus is possible with all capable lenses and in all shooting modes. When combined with the variety of professional presets and filters available, as well as the remarkable Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Optical Image Stabilizer, this video camera system is capable of virtually anything.
NEW 20X L-SERIES ZOOM LENS
Developed exclusively for the XL2, the XL 5.4-108mm L IS lens is composed of 12 lens elements in 10 groups, delivering a focal length range of 41.4 to 828mm in Pro-Quality 16:9 mode. It incorporates Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer, an L-series Fluorite lens and two aspherical lens elements to deliver consistently sharp images and true colours. Two built-in ND filters allow you to adjust the light intensity without affecting the colours.
The lens’ six iris aperture leaves have nearly circular shaped blades that create a beautifully natural blurring effect when shooting a short depth of field. This brilliant new lens fully supports manual focus functionality and comes as standard with the XL2 kit.
XL-SERIES INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
Using the specially designed XL mount that supports the 1/3" 3CCD system, this series of three lenses provides a 35mm equivalent focal length range from 26.6 to 1018mm. The new 20x Zoom is a perfect multi-purpose lens. The 3x Zoom Video lens and 16x Zoom Manual lens offer even more creative flexibility. All are designed and engineered exclusively by Canon
– making full use of more than
70 years of experience in the field.
