The GL Optics Rehoused Canon 200mm T4.0 Macro is a professionally modernized cinema version of Canon’s acclaimed 200mm f/4.0 Macro lens, re-engineered by GL Optics into a full cinema-grade PL mount barrel that brings this optically exceptional telephoto macro glass into professional film production workflows with precision and reliability. The rehousing features industry-standard focus gear rings, a consistent front diameter, and a robust metal construction, transforming the original still photography lens into a dependable, set-ready cinema tool capable of capturing stunning macro detail alongside traditional long telephoto perspectives. With its unique ability to focus from life-size macro reproduction all the way to infinity, combined with the classic Canon optical rendering and a T4.0 maximum aperture, this lens is a compelling choice for narrative, documentary, nature, and commercial productions requiring exceptional close-up detail, isolating telephoto compression, or both within a single versatile cinema package.

Key Features:
The Canon 200mm f/4.0 Macro optical formula delivers sharp, high-contrast images with beautiful telephoto compression and smooth bokeh, combining outstanding macro capability with a fully versatile long telephoto prime in a single lens.
True life-size macro reproduction capability allows cinematographers to capture extraordinary close-up detail of subjects — from intricate textures and small objects to insects and flora — with exceptional optical clarity.
GL Optics’ precision rehousing adds an industry-standard 0.8M focus gear ring, ensuring full compatibility with professional follow focus systems and wireless lens control units for precise focus pulling during macro and telephoto work.
The PL mount conversion makes this lens directly compatible with a wide range of professional cinema cameras, including ARRI, RED, and Sony VENICE platforms, without the need for additional adapters.
A consistent front diameter allows uninterrupted use of matte boxes and clip-on ND filters, providing reliable exposure control across both macro and traditional telephoto shooting distances.
The 200mm focal length delivers strong telephoto compression and subject isolation, making it equally valuable for portraiture, wildlife, nature cinematography, and detail insert shots in narrative production.
The robust, precision-machined metal barrel provides the durability and tactile reliability expected on professional sets, significantly improving on the handling of the original Canon photographic housing.
