Fujinon XA20sx8.5 Overview

Specially made for remote control applications, the Fujinon 8.5-170mm f/1.8-2.7 eXceed 2/3" Teleconference Bayonet Lens is from their videoconferencing series. Fujinon designed this lens with a a versatile, 20x zoom range covering focal length range of 8.5mm at the wide end all the way to 170mm at the telephoto end. The wide 8.5mm focal length allows you to keep multiple subjects in the frame while the 170mm focal length allows for focusing on a single subject. The zoom, focus, and iris controls are accessible via separately available analog remote control.

The lens's internal focusing mechanism maintains a constant lens length when focusing or zooming, keeping the balance of the lens consistent. This consistency is an important consideration when mounting this lens on electronic pan / tilt devices. Fujinon designed this lens to be lightweight at 3.4 pounds, preventing unnecessary wear on the motors used for camera movement. These features are useful for teleconferencing, security, or other applications requiring lens remote control.

Fujinon XA20sx8.5 Reviews

HUGE VALUE: Sharp, Versatile

By Cameron
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2020-04-29

This lens is a huge value. It's sharp, it's versatile, and it comes at a great price point. We have it on a Sony 1500 running 1080i 59.94 and are very pleased. Rarely have to engage the doubler but so glad it's there. Highly recommend this lens with the MS-01 controls.

Great Lens

I borrowed this lens before I bought two. I was happy with the performance and the quality is great.

I am looking to use this Lens on a Canon Cinema Camera , using a B4 2/3" to Canon EF Adapter from MTF Services. When using the MS-01 Zoom & Focus remotes, are the remotes able to plug directly into the lens? Or do the remotes need to speak to the lens through the camera?
Asked by: Steve
The Canon MS-01 connect to the lens directly. Please note to add a two handle tripod so you can mount the lens controls.

Will it work with the Blackmagic Design STUDIO CAMERA 6K PRO?
Asked by: Cristian
With adapters, and power, as well as control you could connect the Fujinon XA20sx8.5BERM-K3 ENG Lens to the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 6K Pro. However, the suggested camera when using B4 lenses is the Black Magic Ursa Broadcast G2. The Ursa comes with power support, as well as the B4 mount for Broadcast lens mounting.

Can I control this lens with a Zoom controller like Fujinon ERD-20A-A02? I have two similar zoom demands and would like to use this lens static on a tripod set up. I n terms of focus I am happy to do it manually.
Asked by: Xavier
This lens has a different connection from the one found on the ERD-20A-A02. Instead we recommend the Fujinon MS-01 Rear Zoom and Focus Lens Control Kit for ENG/EFP Lenses for this lens, B&H # FUMS01 . It has the proper connection. https://bhpho.to/2H2zh3P
