With a 7:1 zoom range you have the superb 17mm wide angle setting and a 120mm telephoto in one lens – with 4K optical performance across that range. The 180 degree rotation angle for Focus ensures efficient manual cinematography – and when the removable servo drive is attached, the 16-bit precision servos provide full TV production operability. Rugged and compatible with large-format cameras, this high performance lens is lightweight and compact, making it ideal for documentary, commercial and broadcast productions.
