Fujinon 75-400mm PL Zoom Lens Introduced at Inter BEE Show

November 19, 2009 --  Fujinon yesterday introduced the second lens from their new PL Mount Series at the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition (Inter Bee) in Chiba City, Japan.

The new 75-400mm T2.8-T3.9 zoom lens joins a growing family of PL mount lenses from Fujinon. The 75-400mm boasts a powerful telephoto focal range combined with impressive T speed and stunning optical performance.

Fujinon released the first lens in the series at NAB 2009, the 18-85mm T2.0, now available for purchase. The 18-85mm can also be rented from a growing number of top Rental house facilities.

Four lens models comprise Fujinon's PL Series:

• 18-85mm T2.0 (available now)
• 75-400 mm T2.8-T3.9 (available now)
• 24-180mm T2.6 (available January 2010)
• 14.5-45mm T2.0 (available April 2010).

Fujinon's new PL zoom lenses are designed to maximize performance on either Film or Digital Cinematography cameras, offering speeds and focal ranges not available in a zoom family before. With unprecedented color-matched optical performance, all four zoom lenses share common (136mm) front barrel diameter, consistent gear position, and production-friendly size/ mass. Cinematographers are assured consistent quality images and quick worry-free lens changes. Fujinon's PL Series zooms are fast, providing new creative possibilities and cost savings with production lighting requirements.
