Product Description:

This lens achieves a remarkable resolution of over 600 vertical lines, capturing an exceptionally sharp image. Surpassing the DV standard of 500 TV lines, the Canon lens enhances visual "sharpness" with increased sensitivity in the critical 100 to 250 TV line resolution range. Equipped with a variable angle prism for optical image stabilisation, it features an ND filter, manual focus and zoom rings, along with a push AF function.

Unlike other systems, the XL2 empowers users to interchange lenses, whether from within the XL series of video lenses, third-party cine lenses, or Canon's extensive lineup of photo lenses. This not only enhances the XL2's versatility but also unlocks incredible creative possibilities for users.
