Fujinon Duvo HZK14-100mm PL Lens

Fujinon Duvo HZK14-100mm

FUJINON Duvo 14-100mm is a dual format lens, supporting two types of large image sensors*1. While covering 14mm wide angle to 100mm mid-telephoto in Super 35, it is the smallest and lightest in the Duvo series, with 266.9mm in length and 2.54kg in weight and producing a comfortable, handheld lens. With the build-in 1.5 Expander the lens becomes a 21-150mm covering 16:9 in Large Format cameras.

Compact and lightweight while covering a wide range of focal lengths

- It achieves both 7.1x zoom covering 14-100mm a focal range and compact and lightweight design with 266.9mm in length and 2.54kg in weight, supporting high mobility.
- The use of the built-in expander*3 shifts the focal length by 1.5 times to 21mm-150mm, allowing users to capture a far-away subject in a desirable field of view.
- The minimum object distance of 0.6 m (0.28 m from front lens) enables impressive close-up shot.
*3 The expander can expand the image circle to cover Full-Frame camera sensors and extend the focal length to the telephoto side on Super35mm camera sensors.

Supporting cameras with Super 35mm sensor and sensors equivalent to full frame

- The lens natively works with the Super 35mm sensor and supports a sensor equivalent to full frame*4 by engaging the built-in expander to expand the image circle by 1.5 times.
- When mounted on a camera equipped with a sensor equivalent to full frame, the lens delivers its maximum optical performance while maintaining the same angle of view as when used on a camera with a Super 35mm sensor.
*4 Capable of natively covering an image circle measuring 28.5mm across the entire zoom range when combined with a camera equipped with a Super 35mm sensor, and with 1.5x expander engaged covering an image circle measuring up to 41.3mm across the entire zoom range when combined with a camera equipped with a sensor equivalent to full frame.

Cinematic visual expressions with beautiful bokeh

- With the use of large-diameter aspheric elements and Super-ED lenses, polished to advanced precision, various forms of aberration are controlled thoroughly to achieve superb optical performance. Ghosting, lens flair and color bleeding are also suppressed to deliver natural, controllable, cinematic footage.
- The lens has a maximum aperture of T2.9 at the wide-angle end 14mm and holds to 75mm despite being a high magnification lens that supports a large sensor. This enables filming in low-light conditions, such as indoor concerts and evening sporting events.
- Out-of-focus areas naturally fall out-of-focus from the focal plane into the background. This produces the highly sought-after cinematic look with beautiful textures and bokeh. Allowing for the storyteller to naturally draw the attention of the viewer to the in-focus subject.

Operational use with various accessories

- Equipped with same drive unit as the portable-type broadcast zoom lens, it can be used in the same style as broadcast lenses with zoom and focus demands.
- It also supports multi-camera operations, filming with multiple cameras at the same time, for efficient production.
- The lens can be connected to a third-party wireless lens controller, a setup commonly used for movie and TV commercial production, to remotely control focus, aperture and zoom. This also supports focusing by a dedicated focus operator, which is a mainstream setup in the cinema industry.
- The lens focus ring has a gear pitch*5 of 0.8M, which allows the use of all standard third-party accessories for movie production, e.g. Follow Focus or external motor.
- The front diameter is 114mm, so that a matte box*6 easily be used in cinema and commercial production. Alternatively, the included rubber broadcast style lens hood with 127mm filter thread can be used.
*5 Distance between focus gear teeth
*6 Lens hood with high flexibility in attaching filters and adjusting light shielding with flags.

Features functions to support comfortable shooting and editing

- Features “Breathing Compensation Technology (BCT)” which automatically corrects focus breathing (fluctuations in the angle of view) to produce natural footage while maintaining the subject being filmed in the established field of view during changes in focus.
- Features “Remote Back Focus (RBF)” which enables the control of the Flange Focal Distance*7 from the control panel of the camera or robotic system that supports the RBF feature. It allows for more precise adjustment with the large high resolution monitor and controlled lighting in studio control room or OB Van as opposed to the onboard viewfinder.
- Compatible with the “ZEISS eXtended Data” system developed by ZEISS based on the open /i® Technology*8 standard. It enables the recording of lens metadata (focus, zoom, and iris position) as well as lens distortion and shading corrections.
