Canon CN-E Studio Zooms – 30-300mm, 14.5-60mm
Canon's flagship cinema zoom lenses distinguish themselves with optical performance that's outstanding in every way, while also being among the lightest and physically smallest in their respective classes. The CN-E 14.5-60mm showcases remarkable image quality with minimal breathing or distortion, and a consistent T2.6 aperture across its zoom range. The CN-E 30-300mm features similar optical excellence while maintaining a T2.95 stop from 30mm to 240mm, before ramping gradually to T3.7 over the remaining 60mm. Focus, iris, and zoom gear rings share common position and size across the two lenses; with identical front diameters, swapping from one studio zoom to the other requires only minimal adjustment.

Lensbaby is famous for their unconventional optics, and with the Movie Maker's Kit they've put together a comprehensive package for unique creative effects in motion. The Composer Pro II can tilt from 0° to 15°, with a separate ring for focus.
