Re: URSA & URSA Mini EF Lens Compatibility List - Firmware 3

I am considering this package; Ursa mini 4.6k EF with the upcoming canon 18-80mm lens because it is the only more affordable cine lens option at this time (US $5200). I shoot commercials, events, and docs, mostly handheld, and I need an ENG style camera/lens package. I considered the PL mount mini with B4 adapter and HD ENG lenses($4K and up used) but for about the same price, with the canon, I get a S35 cine lens with servo that takes advance of the full sensor and resolution of the camera rather than just HD. 4.4 stops is good enough for me. Canon has also announced they are coming out with a telephoto version of this lens. I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback on this combination. Thanks.

It works on our URSA running the latest firmware with the CNE 30-105 zoom.

Just checked with an associate who has the UM4.6 & CNE primes and they all report to his camera.

Interesting. I wonder why mine stopped working. There isn't any kind of firmware IN the lens is there? I was using my UM4.6 today and taking note that when I change codec settings and the camera boots into the new setting that the lens would update it's fstop on screen, but it wouldn't keep up with aperture changes after that.

Lens model: Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM
Focal Length: 10-18mm
AF works: yes
Aperture control: yes
IS works: ? Not sure, lens is so wide that it is hard to judge.
Vignettes: At 10mm: yes. 11-18mm: no.

Comment:
If you want an ultra-wide rectilinear lens (especially a lightweight one for gimbal work), this should be near the top of your list!

The maximum aperture is pretty slow (f/4.5 is the max at 10mm and f/4.8 at 11mm), however, it is very sharp at maximum aperture, good enough for 4K.

Since this is a Canon EF-S lens, it has some vignetting on the 4.6k sensor (since that sensor is larger than the Canon APS-C sensor). Thankfully, however, if you zoom in to 11mm, the vignetting is gone and is gone from the rest of the zoom range. (So, if you have a 4.6k, just pretend it is a 11-18mm f/4.8-5.6!)

Another downside is that it is focus-by-wire. However, given its short focal length and narrow aperture, you'll rarely need to pull focus. Furthermore, this lens is ideal for gimbal/drone work as the lens can be electronically-focused from LAN-C remotes connected to the Ursa. (However, if you need to use a geared system, this lens will likely prove challenging.)

At ~$300, there were bound to be compromises, but I have yet to find a better ultra wide other than the Arri UWZ (~$53,000). (The new Sigma 12-24mm f/4 Art looks promising, but it is not as wide and it will not accommodate a screw-in ND filter due to its bulbous front element.)

I live in Rome Italy and I need to continue working with 16-35mm lens, the only alternative is to go back to the old firmware?
I look forward to your response
Thank you

Hi Piero,

I've also had the same issue with the Canon L 16-35 2.8 II. I couldn't get it to work on firmware 3.1 to 3.4. Had to go back to 2.8.1 in order to get lens functionality again. Don't know if version 4 has fixed the issue yet but I'll be giving it a go when I can give the ursa some down time.

Going up to version 4 won't solve this for you. If going back from 3+ to 2.8.1 gets the lens working then your camera will need to come in to one of our support centres. We have a procedure that will get this lens working on version 3 and 4 and will also maximise compatibility with other EF lenses.

I still dont have my ursa mini, the budget should be good by mid december for it.

I am wondering about the Canon EF 35mm f1.2 L USM. I use it sometimes indoors for a lurking in the corner feel. I love the 84 deg frame width but it is probably not high on most people's film lists. It does look like a security camera indoors for sure. ...

If these lenses are not working for you please contact support.

There is a mod that can be done which will get these lenses, and all others working for you but it will need to come in to one of our support centres.

Hi there,

Did anyone already test the Canon EF 11-24/4.0 USM on the URSA 4.6k ?

I was considering it as a wide angle zoom but would like to know if at least aperture works on the URSA.

Best regards

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with the following lenses?

Tamron 70-200 f2.8 VC
Sigma 70-200 f2.8 OS
Sigma 50-150 f2.8 OS

Looking at getting a stabilised zoom, I know the Canon 70-200 f2.8 II is a great lens, but just wondering whether these other lenses are working on the ursa mini - stabilisation and aperture control?

After skimming through I didn't see anyone note the Sigma 30mm 1.4. Auto focus works on Ursa Mini 4k EF and I don't see any vignetting. Iris button works as well and aperture is displayed correctly. Seems to be working perfectly fine

Lens model: Canon 18 - 80mm T4.4 IS
Focal Length: 18-80mm
AF works: No
Aperture control: Manual Only (but blessedly clickless and totally smooth)
IS works: Yes (when recording)
Vignettes: some darkening of the corners from 18-21mm, but still usable at those angles (in my opinion)

Rented to test it this week and am pleased to say that it is working well for my needs and looks like it may be my next investment in glass for the 4.6K EF Ursa Mini. It is such a joy to have a truly parfocal EF mount lens that exhibits no visible breahting. Considering it only weighs half as much (2.5 pounds) and costs half as much as the closest competing options from Zeiss (the 21-100 starts at T2.9 but unfortunately ramps some through the range) and Angénieux (which are T2 but has one lens with 15-40 and another 30-90 so you'll need both lenses to cover same range, so 4x the cost compared to the Canon).

Strange. The one I tested worked just fine. Will add a note to the list. Thanks


Mine works on FW 4.0, though I notice the AF moves it a bit too much at a time sometimes and misses the focus point fairly regularly (just never finds it at all and gives up).

Hi Jamie
Just a question considering the Canon 18-80mm T4.4 IS: Does it work with the Broadcast Lens Controller of the Ursa Mini (Pro)?

Used it on the original Ursa Mini. I've no idea about how it functions on the newly released Pro. I'll be at NAB this year and that is one the questions I'll be asking.

Yes that lens has 31.4mm circle of coverage so should work fine.

It is a manual cine lens so you don't get iris, focus or zoom control.
I would recommend getting the PL mount version as EF is not an ideal mount for cine lenses such as this.

Many have asked if APS-C lenses will vignette on the 4.6K sensor. Some will (mostly Canon branded), some won't (those that are also available in Nikon mount). So I've added an extra field to test for this.

Thanks Tim. I had a vendor do a test with the URSA Mini Pro and the Canon 18-80mm CN-E. He said it wasn't compatible, but I wasn't there to verify. Can you confirm if the 18-80 will work with the Mini Pro? I heard it works fine with the Mini. Perhaps he had older firmware? This will determine whether or not we order 3 URSA Mini Pros this week, thanks.

I know the CNe 18-80 does not--the UMP considers it a manual lens. It recognizes it but does not talk to it in any way...no AF, no IS, nothing. I have the combo.

The zoom rocker for the 18-80mm T4.4 is able to be powered through the lens mount from URSA Mini EF and URSA Mini Pro currently. Information such as lens name, iris, focus and zoom position values are all able to be read and recorded by URSA Mini's lens metadata system. Electronic control of iris and focus on these lenses will be added in a future software update. Use of focus and zoom demands is possible on these lenses but additional custom cables are required from 3rd party manufacturers (Zacuto & IDX) for this.

Well, have the 18-80 heading my way for the UMP but without IS, off cause one have to wait. IS is one of the main reasons for that lens.

That is correct. Pretty much any EF or EF-S lens should work on the URSA Mini. You will find that some EF-S lenses might vignette a little as EF-S are designed to cover a 1.6x crop sensor. The URSA Mini 4.6k has an effective crop of 1.53x when compared to an Full Frame DSLR (or 135 film format).

Hi...i am a new user here. I want to know has anyone used the canon CN-E range of lenses on the UM4.6k? Mine aren't showing the Tstop in the viewfinder correctly, just a random aperture that's locked no matter what your lens is set to.

Tim, at this point are all aspects of these Canon lenses compatible for control trough the Ursa Mini Pro? We currently own two UmPs and are expanding to five and need compatible Servo lenses.

Thanks,
Alex Wolaver

EDIT: to clarify, this is regarding the Canon Compact Servo 18-80 and 70-200 CN-E lenses.

Iris, Focus and zoom control is working from the camera or ATEM switcher when using our EF mount.

The zoom rocker, Rec start/stop and AF trigger is also working on the accessory handgrip as long as the cable is plugged into the lens. That connector on the lens is in a strange spot so you’ll probably need the shoulder kit or a third party bridge/baseplate on your Mini to lift it up a bit so that the connector doesn’t foul when the camera is sitting on a bench or desk.

For use with Canon zoom and focus demands you will need the Zacuto Y cable because for some reason Canon don’t make one.

I just bought an Ursa Mini Pro 4.6k and after setting it up, none of my lenses have iris control or AF.

These are the lenses I tried:

Canon 16-35mm f/2.8
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8
Canon 24-105mm f/4
Canon 35mm f/2
Canon 50mm f/1.4
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8
Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8

I don't care so much about AF, I can pull focus myself, but how in the world do I get Iris control?

Those lenses should be fully working on Mini Pro.

Is the iris showing up in the camera's heads up display on the 4" screen when the lens is mounted?
