Fujinon To Introduce XA50x9.5B ESM HD Telephoto Lens At NAB 2009

WAYNE, NJ – Fujinon will introduce the new XA50X9.5B ESM HD telephoto lens at the 2009 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nev., April 20-23, 2009 (Booth #C7116). Designed to work with ENG style 2/3-inch HD cameras, the cost effective XA50X9.5B ESM is ideal for regional, minor league, and collegiate sports coverage, as well as houses of worship, corporate events, and other venues requiring longer focal length lenses. The 45-pound lens features an integral camera supporter that requires no additional camera lens support, which results in a considerable cost savings over other designs that require a build up kit or separate camera/lens support.

“Our new XA50X9.5B ESM lens offers an affordable, high-quality option for a wide range of productions,” said David Waddell, Marketing Manager for Fujinon. “The superior imaging standards and optical performance that Fujinon is known for are available even where budgets are a concern.”

The XA50X9.5B ESM has 50 times magnification and a 9.5 to 475mm focal length which can provide a tight shot at one hundred feet. A remote control 2X extender is standard. The maximum relative aperture is 1.7 from 9.5 to 311mm and only 2.6 at 475mm. The minimum object distance is 9.8 feet from the front of the lens. Built-in moisture absorbing technology reduces fogging caused by humidity and improves reliability.

The new lens also features Fujinon’s exclusive Digi Power digital servo control system, which enhances the performance of both zoom and focus functions.
