Cannon Middle East, a leading camera manufacturer in the region, recently unveiled the CJ20ex7.8B, a 2/3” portable 4K zoom lens for professional broadcast which offers a 20x zoom ratio and focal-length range from 7.8mm to 156mm.

First shown as a prototype at IBC 2015 in Amsterdam, the new lens enables the creation of high-resolution, high-impact 4K video content for a variety of applications, including sporting events and news coverage, as well as documentaries and indoor and outdoor location shooting for serial dramas, the company said.

Through optimal lens positioning and precise component assembly, the CJ20ex7.8B achieves high-quality 4K resolution images from the centre to the peripheral areas of the image field. Delivering superior colour reproduction, the lens allows professionals to create compelling ultra-high resolution video, the company added.

The new CJ20ex7.8B includes a built-in 2x extender, which even when shooting at the 312mm telephoto-end focal length, delivers superior optical performance to support use with 4K broadcast cameras, the company concluded. –TradeArabia News Service
