Fujinon now offers a new series of 1/2in HD lenses designed for Sony's new XDCAM HD professional disc camcorders. The three new lenses‚ the HS16x4.6ERM, XS13x3.3RM and XS17x5.5RM, are all designed to enhance the performance of Sony's PDW-510 XDCAM HD and PDW-530 XDCAM HD camcorders. Each lens offers users a choice in focal length and price that addresses a wide range of applications. While the new lenses can be used in the studio, they are specifically tailored to ENG and location production.
