FUJIFILM

LAUNCHES NEW

LINE OF E-MOUNT

CINE LENSES

NOT ENTIRELY SURPRISINGLY Fujifi lm

has decided to venture into making a range

of lower-priced cinematography lenses for

Sony’s E Mount which is used by both the

latter’s mirrorless cameras and a range of semi-

pro video camcorders.

Designed for the ‘APS-C’ and ‘Super 35’ for-

mats, the new Fujinon MK lens line starts with

an 18-55mm T2.9 standard zoom which will be

followed by a 50-135mm T2.9 telezoom later in

the year. Sensibly too, the MK cinematography

lenses will also be available in Fujifi lm’s own X

Mount for use on mirrorless cameras such as

the X-T2. They’re primarily designed as a more

compact, lighter weight and affordable alterna-

tive to pro-grade cinema lenses, but without

compromising durability or optical performance,

including edge-to-edge sharpness and low

distortion. Additionally, the MK zooms have opti-

cal and mechanical designs optimised for video

applications so they don’t suffer from the focus

shift or optical axis shift characteristics of zoom

lenses primarily designed for still photography.

This is achieved by driving the front focusing

group and zooming group independently. Three

control rings allow for the manual adjustment

of focus, zoom and iris, all with a very fi ne gear

pitch. The iris collar also offers stepless control

for the smoother adjustment of exposures. The

18-55mm focuses down to 38 centimetres and

the 50-135mm down to 85 centimetres.

Both MK models share the same fi lter size

fi tting of 82 mm and can share the same matte

box (i.e. with an 85 mm front fi tting), and the

control ring gears are positioned in the same

locations along the barrels so rigs don’t need to

be reconfi gured when changing lenses.

BRIEF EXPOSURES

SUNSTUDIOS AUSTRALIA

says it is currently determin-

ing suitable retailers for the

F-Stop range and will begin
