Wide-Angle Lens Wide-angle lenses help us capture the big picture. They are commonly used for landscape and interior photography, when we want to photograph a large part of the scene and get the elements in a scene in focus.

CINEMA EOS LENSES

Studying how each of these lenses convoluted with the Canon CMOS image sensor and allied Canon CFA helped establish overall color reproduction benchmarks that guided the subsequent exploration of the new Canon cinema lens spectral response. Video processing – in the form of the digital linear matricing system – was also optimized. The judgment of color balance was made by Canon color scientists in concert with invited directors of photography studying the simulated imagery.

CINEMA EOS LENSES

Canon’s optical design teams spent a considerable time using powerful computer aided simulation tools to explore the possibilities in reconciling very high 4K specifications with a variety of novel design strategies that would collectively contribute to a unique Canon Personality in the new cine zoom lenses. That extensive exploration examined all aspects of lens image quality parameters and image aberrations and distortions in a prolonged search for an aggregate performance that would speak to the urgings of those with whom we had consulted.

4k LENS

Upon confronting the term Modulation Transfer Function, the question immediately arises as to what is being modulated, what is being transferred, and how does all of this bear upon resolution? It will be shown that these terms help us provide a linkage between the resolution capability of an imaging component and the contribution that component makes to the perceived sharpness seen when we look at the final reproduced image.
