needs of the next generation of cost-effective HD cameras.
Fujinon worked closely with all major camera manufacturers
to engineer true HD lenses that are designed specifically
to enhance the performance of lower cost HDTV cameras.

professional and corporate video; independent filmmakers;
cable TV, news and sports production; houses of worship; education;
event videography; municipal, state and federal government
agencies; and rental companies supporting these markets.

Series of lenses will give producers and videographers an
affordable option that is well-suited to a wide range of production
circumstances," said David Waddell, Marketing Manager
for Fujinon. "These affordable, high-performance HD ENG
lenses will open the door to producing many more news, sports,
special events, and independent productions in HDTV. These
lenses are the perfect complement for today's new low-cost
HDTV cameras because they maintain the superior imaging standards
and optical performance that Fujinon is known for."
