fujinon CINEMA LENSES
Fujinon is a lens manufacturer known for its expertise in zoom design, with a long history in broadcast systems and a growing presence in cinema production. Cine Visuals carries the Cabrio, Premier, Premista, Duvo, and GF zoom lines, all maintained and calibrated by in-house technicians.
- Super 35 | SphericalThe Duvo line combines cinema-grade optics with the mechanical demands of live production environments. It is designed for workflows that require both high image quality and the flexibility of broadcast-style operation.
- Full Frame LF/VV | SphericalThe Premier Zooms are Super 35 lenses built for high optical precision with consistent performance across the range. They represent Fujinon’s high-end cinema zoom offering within the S35 format.
- Full Frame LF/VV | SphericalThe Premista line brings Fujinon’s zoom engineering into full-frame coverage with consistent optical performance across focal lengths. It is designed for large-format cinema workflows requiring reliability and uniformity.
- Medium Format (65) | SphericalThe first GF mount power zoom developed with Fujinon optical and mechanical engineering, covering medium format and 65mm image circles. Its release coincided with the Fujifilm Eterna 55, positioning it as the native zoom option for that medium format camera system.
- Super 35 | SphericalSuper 35 zooms designed to bridge high-end motion picture optical quality with ENG-style servo-driven operation and ergonomics. The servo integration makes them practical for single-operator configurations and fast-paced workflows that require continuous zoom and focus control without a dedicated operator for each function.
What are Fujinon Cinema Lenses Known For?
Fujinon originated as a division of Fujifilm, developing lenses for still photography and broadcast with a particular concentration on zoom technology. Over decades of refinement, the company built deep expertise in zoom engineering oriented toward broadcast and cathode tube camera systems, earning an Academy Award for its optical contributions along the way. The shift toward cinema came with the rise of digital filmmaking. A significant turning point was the use of Fujinon C and E series lenses across the entirety of principal photography on Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, which brought the brand into direct contact with the demands of high-end motion picture production. That experience, combined with advances in digital cinema technology and growing demand for cinematically capable zoom glass in broadcast, led Fujinon to develop dedicated cinema optics with high-end image rendition. The company now occupies a position spanning both broadcast and motion picture production, with lens families designed to perform credibly in either context.
