FUJINON ( ZK4.7×19-SAFB ) PL 19-90mm T2.9 Cabrio Lens (Feet). Fujifilm’s Optical Devices Division today announced their latest entry into the 35PL lens market, the Fujinon 19-90 T2.9 Cabrio zoom lens. The lens is both physically compact, at less than nine inches in length, and a feather-weight, at less than six pounds, making it the longest focal range handheld lens available. But the Cabrio allusion also extends to the included removable handgrip/zoom rocker servo.
As the popularity of Super-35 sensor cameras soars, clients used to shooting on 2/3” shoulder-mounted cameras, which utilize lightweight ENG zoom lenses with their built-in servo handgrips, have struggled to find similar setups with the larger sensor cameras. The servo on the 19-90 Cabrio is easy to attach or detach as needed, and the lens features traditional cine-style .08 gearing on the rings and a large 200-degree focus rotation for precise marks. Other features of the lens illustrate how it bridges the video.
