Fujifilm announces FUJINON DUVO HZK14-100mm T2.9-3.9 Portable PL Mount Wide-Angle Zoom Lens

FUJIFILM North America Corp., Optical Devices Division, announces the availability of the FUJINON DUVO HZK14-100mm T2.9-3.9 Portable PL Mount Zoom Lens (DUVO 14-100mm). Initial orders of DUVO 14-100mm are expected to begin shipping to customers by the end of September 2024.

Like its predecessors, DUVO HZK25-1000mmF2.8-F5.0 PL Mount Cinema Box Lens and DUVO HZK24-300mm T2.9-4.2 Portable PL Mount Zoom Lens, the DUVO 14-100mm produces a cinematic look while offering the ease of broadcast lens operation, the company claims. DUVO 14-100mm supports dual large image sensors, covering 14mm at the wide angle to 100mm in Super 35mm, and 21-150mm in Large Format with its built-in 1.5x Expander. The lens achieves 7.1x zoom, and, at 10.5” (266.9mm) in length and weighing only 5.6 lbs. (2.54kg), is the smallest and lightest in the DUVO Series.

“While DUVO 14-100mm is built and functions like a broadcast lens, it’s designed to visually match the renowned optical characteristics of FUJINON cinema zooms when intercut,” said Stosh Durbacz, national sales manager, Optical Devices Division, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “It offers enough coverage for nearly any creative demand while keeping operability well in mind, and its relatively small size and light weight make it well suited for everything from handheld use to balanced remote-head mounting. It really combines the best of two worlds.”

Being relatively compact and lightweight, DUVO 14-100mm produces a comfortable handheld lens that can be utilized for shoulder-mounted operation, as well as with a Steadicam or for high-angle filming using a crane. It is also compatible with third-party wireless lens control systems, as well as a variety of accessories specifically designed for portable FUJINON lenses, so it can be operated in the same style as a broadcast lens using zoom and focus demands. All of these features enable DUVO 14-100mm to facilitate immersive storytelling in various environments, such as capturing the entire stage at a concert or getting an intimate closeup of an athlete at a sporting venue.
