Canon S16 8-64mm T2.4 Zoom

The Canon 8-64mm T2.4 is a vintage Super 16 zoom with a soft, characterful look. It handles highlights gently and gives flares with real character, unlike the clinical sharpness of a modern zoom.

It covers Super 16 film cameras, and digital cameras that have an S16 crop mode. The lens holds its T-stop across the whole range rather than ramping as you zoom in, so exposure stays consistent through the zoom, which suits documentary work and period looks.

It is an 8x zoom with a constant T2.4 aperture, PL mount, a 95mm front diameter and a close focus of 22 inches. The long zoom range replaces several Super 16 primes. It suits productions after a filmic, softer image, and it pairs with the Canon 11-165mm T2.5 for a Super 16 kit. It is a lens for productions that want a distinct vintage look.
