Fujifilm launches “FUJINON HZK14 100mm” Duvo Portable (Fujifilm)

Today, the broadcast industry is increasingly embracing cameras equipped with a large sensor typically used for cinematic applications, in order to produce immersive images with bokeh and high dynamic range. Accordingly, cinema camera lenses that support a large sensor are often used for shooting. However, such lenses are optimized for films and TV commercial applications and therefore have a limited zoom magnification range compared to broadcast lenses. They also require a dedicated focus operator, which is uncommon in the broadcast industry.

In response, Fujifilm has expanded its product lineup by introducing the Duvo Series, which produces cinematic looks with beautiful bokeh and offers the ease of broadcast lens operation. The box-type broadcast zoom lens FUJINON HZK25-1000mm (Nickname: Duvo Box) was released in March 2023, and the portable-type FUJINON HZK24-300mm in March 2024.

The new addition of the FUJINON HZK14-100mm portable wide-angle zoom lens to the line-up covers the wide-angle and expands the range of focal lengths available for this series from 14 to 1000mm. Wide zoom lenses are often used in combination with Steadicam^*2 or crane, and the FUJINON HZK14-100mm, with its overall length of 266.9 mm and 2.54kg, can be used in various genres, such as shooting an entire stage at a music concert, or getting close to an athlete at a sports venue to capture immersive scene.

Fujifilm will continue to leverage its advanced optical technology nurtured over many years to develop and supply high-performance broadcast lenses, cinema camera lenses and accessories to address the diversifying needs of frontline video professionals.
