The Canon CN-E 50mm T1.3 L is a manual-focus cinema prime for Canon EF-mount cameras, built for crews who pull focus by hand on set. Its T1.3 aperture and 11-blade iris give shallow depth of field and round, smooth bokeh, and the geared focus and iris rings suit follow-focus rigs. It is heavy and large next to still-photo 50mm lenses, and it has no autofocus or stabilization, so it is a tool for planned narrative and commercial work rather than run-and-gun shooting. Against rival cine primes it stands out for its fast aperture and weather sealing, while costing less than the top cinema lines.
