Valhalla, NY—Fujifilm North America’s Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices divisions will exhibit new gear and technology at the 2024 National Association of Broadcasters Show, Booth C5325 (Central Hall) at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The 2024 NAB Show is April 14–17, 2024. In addition, Fujifilm will present a full display of Fujinon cinema and broadcast lenses, as well as Fujifilm X series and GFX system cameras and lenses. Moreover, the show will mark the worldwide debut of the Fujinon Duvo HZK14-100mm portable PL-mount zoom lens.
“Over the last year, our Duvo series of Fujinon lenses have taken live event production by storm. And our new cameras—notably Fujifilm GFX100 II and X100VI—have created an unparalleled buzz that we can’t wait to see materialize on the NAB 2024 Show floor,” said Victor Ha, vice president, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions, Fujifilm North America Corporation. “The continual excitement around our products is constantly generating conversations and creating new avenues for customers to explore. We love creating a space where that unfolds in person, which is why NAB Show continues to be a fixture in our event calendar every year.”
Fujinon Duvo HZK14-100mm
The Duvo 14–100mm is the third lens in Fujinon’s Duvo lens series as well as its second portable Duvo lens. Furthermore, the new lens complements the previously released Fujinon Duvo HZK25–1000mm f/2.8–5.0 PL-mount Cinema Box lens and the Duvo HZK24–300mm portable PL-mount zoom lens. What’s more, last year, the Duvo 25–1000mm garnered the Best Overall Product in the Create Category at the NAB Show’s Product of the Year Awards.
The Duvo 14–100mm is a native PL-mount portable zoom lens that delivers 7.1x zoom. It also covers the 14–100mm focal range that is frequently used on-set. Further, Fujinon’s use of a built-in expander shifts the lens’s focal length by 1.5x to 21–150mm. Consequently, users can capture more expansive environments. At 10.5 inches long and 5.8 pounds in weight, the lens is relatively compact and lightweight. Additionally, it is compatible with Fujinon portable broadcast lens zoom and focus demands. Plus, it can be shoulder operated, used on a Steadicam or remotely operated from a crane when an extremely high-angle point of view is needed.
Furthermore, like all Duvo lenses, Fujinon engineered the 14-100mm with dual format construction to bring flexibility, with its built-in 1.5x expander. You can engage it to expand the lens’s image circle to cover large-format digital image sensors or leave it disengaged for use with Super 35 sensors.
The lens also boasts a T-stop of T2.9 at the wide end (14mm). Thus, it is an option for low-light concerts, nighttime events as well as production environments that want a shallow depth of field and cinematic bokeh.
