One of the last to be produced and the most the most advanced of the S16 zooms by Canon – this lens features superior sharpness and optical performance throughout the range. Updated mechanics improve durability and ruggedness in the field. The incredible 17X zoom range at a usably fast t2.7 make a perfect lens for documentary and drama. With cinematic fall-off, a vintage aesthetic, cinematic flaring wide-open and ever-increasing contrast with stop – Canon zooms are the last word in 16mm production.
