The focal-length range is 13.2-1150mm with a minimum object distance of 2.7 meters, or about 8.9 feet. The lens also has a 2x extender for double magnification.
Sports in the Forefront
By offering an unprecedented 87x magnification, the new XA87x high definition lenses are ideally suited for sports shooting where extreme closeups and high-image quality are critical. The XA87x9.3 and XA87x13.2 are available with Fujinon's new internal image stabilization technology. Distance is no object any more. Due to the excellent ramping characteristics, the XA87x lenses deliver images of amazing crispness and brightness even at the telephoto end of the zoom range. The field HD lenses combine Fujinon's most advanced optics, Inner focus mechanism, extremely quiet operation and modular construction.
High Zoom Speed
Fujinon uses more than two zoom groups to achieve the 87x zoom. The maximum zoom speed from wide to tele end is only 0.6 seconds but it is possible
to choose the zoom characteristic and the maximum zoom speed individually.
Desiccant Drying
The desiccant drying compartment eliminates fogging of the internal lens components due to humidity. In addition a protective, field replaceable
glass element (option) protects the front lens from damage.
QuickZoom Technology
The lens has an added capability when zooming; using the QuickZoom switch. At the touch of a button, the lens can move to full telephoto in less than a second. This provides a no-hassle way of verifying focus.
Integral 2x Extender
For instant close-up shots, the lens has a switch that inserts an element that doubles the focal length at any point in the zoom range. Instead of using the zoom function, the extender gives immediate close-up images.
