Description — Canon CN-E14mm T3.1 FP X
The Canon Sumire 14mm Prime is a dedicated cinema prime lens with a T3.1 maximum aperture, built on a Canon EF mount and engineered to cover full frame sensors. Operating at a fixed 14mm focal length, it falls squarely into the ultra wide-angle category — well suited to wide environmental shots, tight interiors, and dramatic perspectives that a longer focal length simply cannot achieve. This is a manual focus lens with no autofocus capability, which places it firmly in the hands of operators working within traditional cinema focus-pulling workflows rather than stills-oriented fast-acquisition scenarios.
With no image stabilization, the lens relies on the operator's rig or camera platform for motion control. At 1.2kg, it carries professional-grade mass, and its Cinema / Video camera system classification reflects its purpose-built orientation toward motion picture production. No filter thread size is specified, so users with front-mounted filter systems should confirm compatibility independently before committing to a purchase.
