Canon 3x Zoom XL 3.4-10.2mm Lens
The lightweight Canon 3x Super Wide-Angle Zoom Lens gives the XL-1 the widest field-of-view of any DV camcorder 70o compared to the 47 degrees of the standard 16x lens. This represents an increase in angle of view of nearly 50%. Focal length of 3.4-10.2mm (24-72mm equivalent in 35mm) enables you to move from vast landscapes to close-ups with maximum flexibility.

Features

Six-blade Iris for minimal light flare.

Manual zoom and focus ring on lens.

72mm lens diameter permits the use of screw-on type filters.

Minimum focusing distance of 3/4" at wide end.

Built-in 1.5x neutral density filter.
