Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 EF Compact Servo Zoom Lens Overview with Simeon Quarrie
Yesterday we had an amazing Hands-On Open Day and a 1st UK Exclusive for the brand new Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S Compact Servo Zoom lens. We would like to thank all our attendees, who visited our Teddington branch and were some of the lucky 1st in the UK to get hands-on with this fantastic lens. We truly believe this lens will have a huge impact on documentary productions and events where you have to be quick on your feet and have a great zoom lens to match.
And course a huge thank you to our good friend and Canon Ambassador Simeon Quarrie, who as usual, was a star during the event. Check out the quick video we did with him going over the main features of the canon 18-80mm lens and latest firmware update for the Canon EOS C300 Mark II camera.

One important note is that the zoom rocker pictured on right side in the photo above is a separate purchase (at the moment it is priced at £338 + VAT) so worth to bear that in mind when purchasing the lens.
