![]() ![]() The L Series 50mm lens has sharper lines in its bokeh, while the Cine lens is far more spherical, nearly a perfect circle in the center of the lens. ![]() ![]() The major difference between the L Series Lens and the Cine Lens is the bokeh, the blur of the lens. The L Series lenses spin on forever, even after you pass the minimum focus point and infinite focus point the Cine Lenses are much easier to work with for focus pulls with a follow focus ring.īut enough of how the lens looks on the outside! What kind of image was made from the inside? L Series vs. The focus ring runs a lot smoother than our L Series lenses, and the Cine Lens focus ring has stopping points for both minimal and infinite focus. The aperture ring communicates with the 1D-C to electronically keep track of the shift, but it remains a fully manual system the camera body itself has no control over changing the t/stop. This allows for follow focus wheels to lock into the focus and aperture rings for smooth racks. The next thing we noticed was the large, geared rings for both focus and aperture. That meant for filters, we’d need a matte box. With the 114mm diameter opening, none of our screw-on filters would work with these lenses. These are not run and gun, quick change, single camera bag-sized lenses. Right off the bat, the size of the Cine Lenses jumped out at us. We put the Cine lens directly up against its L Series cousin to see if it was worth the extra cash. We were lucky enough to get the Canon CN-E 50mm T1.3 L F Cine Lens loaned out to us to do some comparison tests. After testing Canon’s 1D-C, we wanted to look deeper into Canon’s cinema options. ![]()
