The image quality is sufficient for film use, meaning that in addition to the sharpness of the image, distortions have been minimized. The color scheme also remains identical on all lenses, meaning that regardless of the focal length, the coatings and the end result are identical. Canon has also designed the look to match the Bayer transformation and sensor technology of Canon cameras so that the end result is realistic, but pleasantly warm in tone, offering very fine skin tones.

When using Canon Cinema cameras, image vignetting correction also comes into play, and thanks to the electronic connection, the camera displays aperture information in the camera and stores focal length and focus information in metadata.

Focus breathing, which is a disturbing phenomenon in video shooting, is basically completely minimized in these Cinema series lenses. All lenses have 11 rounded diaphragm plates, and the diaphragm adjustment is mechanical and stepless, meaning that adjustment is smooth during shooting.

The usability is the same across the series, meaning the physical size is the same, the lens body size is 114 mm and the filter thread size is 105mm (excluding 14mm which has no filter thread). The aperture ring and focus ring are the same size and the focus ring adjustment range is the same 300 degrees, meaning that you can switch lenses on the fly and the camera settings will remain the same. The feel and response of the focus ring is also identical if the focuspuller is operated manually.

Canon CN-E lenses are weather and dust sealed.
