Canon's fast C-mount wide — the 13mm f/1.5 for 16mm broadcast and cine.
The Canon 13mm f/1.5 is a wide-angle C-mount lens produced by Canon for 16mm television and cine applications. The fast f/1.5 aperture at a 13mm focal length delivers a very wide angle of view with maximum light gathering, suited for cramped studio spaces and available-light documentary filming.
13mm focal length, f/1.5 maximum aperture, C-mount thread, designed for 16mm TV and cine cameras.
A 13mm wide-angle at f/1.5 is a practical combination for indoor documentary and studio television work where both wide coverage and low-light capability are needed. Canon TV/cine lenses are well-regarded for build quality. These lenses are also used on modern mirrorless cameras with C-mount adapters for a distinctive wide-angle cine look.
Inspect for fungus, haze, and coating condition. Check C-mount thread engagement. Confirm focus helicoid operation. Test the fast f/1.5 aperture iris — blades should be clean and responsive.
