Designed using the latest proprietary optical simulation software, the ZK2.5x14 from Fujinon is a PL 14-35mm wide angle lens that offers exceptional optical performance in the center of the image and in the corners of the frame. The digital servo's 16-bit encoding assures operators that all lens data output—including the position of the zoom, iris, and focus—is extremely accurate. The PL 14-35mm lens supports Lens Data System (LDS) and /i metadata formats, and can be controlled using cinema industry standard wireless controllers as well as existing FUJINON wired and wireless units.

The PL 14-35mm Cabrio lens has a detachable digital servo drive. The Cabrio can be used as a self-contained ENG-style lens or cine style lens. Cinematographers will also be right at home with this lens. With the detachable drive removed, the lens is set to accept industry standard cine motors and matte boxes. The 14-35mm lens is lightweight and comfortable to use with today's smaller 4K cameras. For shooters looking for a lightweight zoom that can be used as a handheld, capturing wide angles in tight spaces, it's ideal.

The PL 14-35 covers 31.5mm sensor size on a digital cinema style camera. While sensors on standard broadcast cameras are all the same size, sensors on digital cine cameras vary greatly. This new zoom ensures the image captured will cover large sensors for optimal, full-frame resolution. A nine-blade iris part of the design as well, creating the most natural-looking imagery possible.

To reattach to the lens, a newly developed self-aligning system is employed for easy and accurate calibration. The lens will accept standard 0.8 geared cine accessories.
