Fuji advances three new 2/3″ UA series lenses for 4K at NAB

The UA107x8.4 tele, the UA80x9 high-magnification zoom, and the UA13x4.5 wide angle are added to the Fujinon portfolio.

The new UA Series Fujifilm 2/3 4K lens is the first in the world for Ultra High Definition applications. The UA80x9 offers true 4K optical quality, which is distinctive of Fujinon's ZK lens in cine lenses. The optical quality is based on large diameter aspherical elements designed by its optical simulation system. Also, the lens achieves 4K UHD optical performance from center to angle across the entire zoom range, while suppressing image distortion due to the multi-group zoom system. Designed to produce the next-generation performance of the new 2/3″ 4K Ultra HD cameras.

The UA80x9 employs High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating (HT-EBC) technology which results in richer colors and better blue response and transmittance. HT-EBC, together with Fujifilm's exclusive Aspherical Technology, reduces ghosting and flare, and increases light transmission. A unique anti-fog design minimizes lens fog and reduces moisture downtime; a major concern when filming in all types of weather conditions.

The new UA80x9 lens offers Fujinon Digi Power digital controls (with F-stop limit), Quick Zoom, two-shot preset, a 2X extender, and other precision digital features that increase production flexibility. It also incorporates OS-TECH technology for image stabilization.

Fujifilm has also announced at NAB 2016 the launch in August of this year of the new 2/3″ UA13x4.5″ lens. With high contrast and high dynamic range, this lens has a 4.5 mm ultra-wide angle focal length with a minimum object distance of 0.3 meters.

By adopting a large diameter and ultra-high precision aspherical lens, the problems of image distortion and a decrease in peripheral resolution are controlled. These functions respond to the needs of recording dynamic ultra-wide-angle images, such as landscapes or sports, as well as images close to the subject, at maximum resolution. Additionally, on the telephoto side, the lens covers a focal length of up to 59mm (118mm with the 2x extender), working great for a variety of applications, such as program production and news captured both indoors and outdoors. exteriors.

As far as the UA107x8.4 is concerned, it is a 107x zoom lens, which will be part of Fujinon's 4K Premier series. It covers a range from 8.4mm wide-angle to 900mm super-telephoto.

Fujinon also debuts in Las Vegas the new Fujinon XK6x20 zoom, a new member of the range of compatible zoom lenses for 4K digital cinema.

Equipped with a PL mount, the most common format for cinema cameras, the XK6x20 offers T3.5 brightness across the entire range from 20mm to 120mm.

In recent years, the growing trend in the cinematography industry points towards a generation of content that combines the use of soft bokeh and a shallow depth of field with the highest visual quality for use in productions such as advertising, documentaries and series. dramatic.

Since the launch in 2002 of the range of Fujinon Cine Lenses cinema optics compatible with the first digital cameras, numerous productions both in the cinematographic field and in the broadcast world have relied on the high quality contracted, demonstrated on numerous occasions.

The new XK6x20 zoom lens for digital cameras offers high optical performance compatible with 4K cameras covering a wide focal range from 20mm to 120mm. It also offers a constant T3.5 luminosity throughout the entire focal range, making it ideal for working in a wide variety of scenes.

The XK6x20 zoom is equipped with a detachable zoom and focus control unit, a common accessory for this type of lens, as well as a 0.8 mm thread compatible with standard cinema accessories.

Fujinon lenses, a brand owned by Fujifilm, are recognized for their advanced optical quality, contributing to the making of films, advertising and television series as well as television production, meeting the most demanding requirements of the entertainment industry.
