Canon has announced the launch of a new series of lenses for the company’s EF Cinema Lens lineup to be known as the Flex Zoom Lens series.  The first lenses in the series are the CN-E20-50mm T2.4 L F/FP wide-angle zoom lens and the CN-E45-135mm T2.4 L F/FP telephoto zoom lens.  The lenses are said to maintain a T2.4 aperture across their entire zoom ranges, (no ramping.)  In addition to supporting EF-mount data transmission, the new lenses are also compatible with /i Technology from Cooke Optics.  Although Canon mentioned in a recent press briefing that they are working on other lens mount options and even the ability for the user to swap between them, it is not in the official announcement, so it cannot be confirmed.  The Canon CN-E20-50mm T2.4 L F/FP wide-angle zoom lens and Canon CN-E45-135mm T2.4 L F/FP telephoto zoom lens are scheduled to be available in early June 2022 and early September 2022 for an estimated retail price of $21,999.00US.
