Canon, a leading provider of imaging technologies and services, has bolstered its professional 4K broadcast lens range with the launch of three new lenses, including two new broadcast field zoom lenses in 4K Premium optical quality.

The range includes: the UHD DigiSuper 122 which can achieve the world’s widest angle, the world’s longest focal length and the world’s highest zoom ratio; and the UHD DigiSuper 111, which offers a long focal length and high zoom ratio for a wide range of shooting scenarios, said a statement from the company.

The CJ25ex7.6B has also been added to Canon’s UHDxs series of portable zoom lenses for 4K broadcast cameras with 2/3-inch sensors, offering a 25x zoom ratio, a focal length range from 7.6 mm to 190 mm and superb optical performance, it said.

Canon also announces its next generation of zoom and focus demands with integrated display for added flexibility, control and creativity, it added.
 
Binoj Nair, senior manager – B2C marketing and direct sales, Canon Middle East, said: “We are always looking for ways to improve our products that enhance our consumers imaging experience and enable them to be better storytellers.”

“Through these newly launched lenses, users will now be able to capture their stories on a much higher quality, introducing them to a suite of unmatched features. Innovation is our key ingredient; we remain committed to developing our products that better fit our modern day consumer needs,” he added.
 
The new lenses have exceptional optical performance, exceeding 4K expectations with broad ranging focal lengths, high zoom ratios and class-leading operability. Achieving descriptive power and outstanding colour reproduction, from the wide end to the telephoto end, these lenses allow realistic and high-resolution shooting - ideal for outdoor sports broadcasting, as well as indoor events, such as concerts.
 
Canon’s flagship field zoom broadcast lens, the UHD DigiSuper 122, can deliver the world’s widest angle and world’s longest focal length – 8.2 mm at the wide end and 1000 mm at the telephoto end - as well as the world’s highest zoom ratio of 122x. Whilst the UHD DigiSuper 111, with a 111x zoom ratio and a focal length range of 8.3 mm to 925 mm aims to become a golden standard amongst broadcast productions where high zoom ratio is required.
 
Featuring optimal lens placement, upmost precision and first-class design, both lenses deliver performance beyond 4K, guaranteeing high-resolution and high-contrast video capture from the centre of the screen to the very edges. These broadcast lenses are also the first to utilise Canon’s proprietary Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which reduces flaring and ghosting – ideal for shooting in HDR and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) - making high-tonality visual expression a reality.
 
Adding to Canon’s UHDxs series of portable zoom lenses for 4K broadcast cameras with 2/3-inch sensors, the CJ25ex7.6B features fluorite and Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass, and a proprietary optical design focused on the optimal placement of elements.

This reduces chromatic aberration from the centre to the edge of the image, across the entire zoom range. This CJ25ex7.6B offers a 25x zoom ratio, covering a focal length range from 7.6 mm at the wide end to 190 mm at the telephoto end, to support a broad range of shooting scenarios, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
