With the end of analog broadcasting in the US, Europe and Japan, and the shift to digital in emerging economies, this lens fills a sweet spot in Fujifilm's complete line of 2/3" studio/field lenses. With a focal length from 9.5 to 525mm (or 19.0 to 1050mm with a 2x extender), this XA55x9.5 Fujinon zoom lens offers outstanding performance in the most challenging environments.
Like the very popular XA50x9.5, this lens is available with a built-in lens support bracket for mounting on an ENG-style camera. Removing the need for additional camera lens support increases the cost efficiency of this lens. Optionally, the lens is available without the built-in bracket, allowing it to be mounted directly to a "hard" camera, or a camera build up kit.
Optical image stabilization - this is standard on the lens, making it ideal for any application where the camera operator must maintain a rock steady close up shot for long periods, such as sporting events, houses of worship, corporate presentations, or concerts.
In addition, its 16-bit encoder outputs zoom, focus position and other lens data - allowing it to combine CGI seamlessly with live images.
The lens also provides a host of practical features including proprietary Digital Quick Zoom. With all its acclaimed broadcast and film lenses, Fujinon lenses combine the latest optical simulation technology with fast T-stops, quality coatings, exact color reproduction, flare rejection and transparency.
