Fujifilm Extends
Zoom Range
Fujifilm
North
America Corp., Optical
Devices Division has extended
the range of the Premier PL 14-35mm
Cabrio ZK2.5x14 wide-angle lens from its
initial debut.
"The new 14-35mm Cabrio was designed with
the latest customer feedback, especially regarding focal
length," says Thom Calabro, director of marketing and product
development for the Optical Devices Division of Fujifilm North America Corp. "As with all of our Cabrio lenses, the 14-35mm lens is
lightweight and comfortable to use with today's smaller 4K
cameras, but we've expanded the focal-length range from its initial
NAB showing to 14-35mm at T2.9, with 200-degree focus rotation.
For shooters looking for a lightweight zoom that can be used as a
handheld, capturing wide angles in tight spaces, it's ideal."
The PL 14-35mm Cabrio lens has a detachable digital servo
drive and can be used as a self-contained ENG-style lens or cine-style
lens. When used without the drive, industry-standard cine motors
can be fitted.
The digital servo's 16-bit encoding assures operators that all
lens data output - including the position of the zoom, iris and
focus - is accurate. The PL 14-35mm lens supports Lens Data
System and /i metadata formats, and can be controlled using standard wireless controllers, as well as existing Fujinon wired and wireless units.
The Cabrio series also includes the recently introduced
Premier PL 19-90mm and the PL 85-300mm lenses.
