    Overview

    The Canon CN-E 30-105mm T/2.8 L S/SP is a compact cinema zoom praised for its solid all-metal build and balanced weight (4.8 lbs), suiting documentary work. It offers near-perfect geometry with minimal barrel distortion and slight edge falloff at T2.8, clean by T4. The lens is parfocal with no center axis drift, has a 300° focus throw for precision, and matched ring positions for easy swapping. It suits filmmakers needing a durable, sharp zoom with excellent handling, though the long focus throw may challenge fast racking.
