FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation FUJIY recently announced that the newest addition to its popular Duvo series - FUJINON HZK14-100mm (Duvo Portable) - is set to officially release in late Sept., 2024.
The broadcast industry is shifting toward cameras with large sensors for cinematic effects, but these cinema lenses are limited in zoom range and require dedicated focus operators, which are not common in broadcast. To address this, Fujifilm introduced the Duvo Series, blending cinematic quality with broadcast functionality. The series includes the FUJINON HZK25-1000mm (Duvo Box), released in March 2023, and the FUJINON HZK24-300mm, launched in March 2024.
The latest addition to the series, Duvo Portable, broadens the focal length range from 14 to 1000mm, addressing wide-angle requirements. Its compatibility with Steadicam and crane setups enhances its versatility. With a length of 266.9 mm and weighing 2.54 kg, this lens is ideal for capturing entire stages at music concerts or close-up shots at sports events, offering immersive scenes across various genres.
The FUJINON HZK14-100mm lens is compact and lightweight, offering a versatile 7.1x zoom range from 14-100mm, which can be extended to 21-150mm using its built-in expander. With a minimum object distance of 0.6m, it is suitable for both close-ups and distant shots. The lens supports Super 35mm and full-frame sensors, delivering consistent optical performance across formats.
Designed for cinematic visual effects, it has a maximum aperture of T2.9 at 14mm and consistent performance up to 75mm, which enables filming in low-light conditions. The lens delivers a desirable cinematic look with smooth bokeh, enhancing storytelling by drawing viewers' focus to the in-focus subject. Additionally, it supports various accessories, including third-party wireless lens controllers and follow focus systems, and is compatible with the ZEISS eXtended Data system for recording lens metadata.
