Canon CN-E 3-Lens Set [#58]

The Canon CN-E 3-Lens Set [#58] combines three full-frame EF-mount cinema primes—35mm, 50mm and 85mm—into a compact package for narrative, commercial, music-video, interview and beauty production. The focal lengths cover a practical progression from environmental and medium-wide framing through a natural perspective to classic portrait compression, while the fast T1.5/T1.3 apertures make the set especially useful for low-light work and controlled shallow depth of field.

Matched cine mechanics and camera communication

All three lenses are fully manual, with no autofocus or optical image stabilization. They share a 114mm front diameter, 105mm screw-in filter thread, standardized 0.8-pitch focus and iris gearing and approximately 300° focus rotation, so a crew can change focal lengths without rebuilding the matte box or repositioning follow-focus hardware. Their 11-blade irises maintain a rounded aperture shape for smooth, natural bokeh and help the three lenses produce a consistent visual character.

The EF-mount versions also support electronic communication with compatible Cinema EOS cameras. Supported bodies can display and record lens information such as lens name, T-number and focus position, and Canon’s Dual Pixel Focus Guide can combine lens-position data with Dual Pixel CMOS AF information to assist manual focusing on compatible cameras. This does not turn the lenses into autofocus lenses—the focus ring remains fully manual.

35mm, 50mm and 85mm coverage

The CN-E35mm T1.5 L F was marketed in December 2013. It focuses to 0.30 m and gives the set its widest perspective, making it useful for interiors, handheld scenes, two-shots and compositions that retain more environmental context.

The CN-E50mm T1.3 L F entered the market in July 2012 and focuses to 0.45 m. Its natural full-frame perspective works well for dialogue, interviews, product setups and general narrative coverage, while T1.3 provides strong low-light performance and shallow-depth-of-field control.

The CN-E85mm T1.3 L F was marketed in August 2012 and has a 0.95 m minimum object distance. It adds tighter portrait framing, stronger background compression and pronounced subject separation for beauty shots, interviews and close-ups.

Consistent rigging and filtration

Because all three primes use the same 114mm front and 105mm filter size, the set integrates efficiently with common matte boxes, clip-on accessories, ND and diffusion filters. Their matched body dimensions, gear positions and operating feel also reduce setup changes between lenses, which is particularly useful on gimbals, shoulder rigs, sliders and studio builds.
