Fujinon ZK85-300mm T2.9 Cabrio Overview

By B&H Photo's

The Fujinon ZK 85-300mm T2.9-4.0 Cabrio Lens is a lightweight telephoto zoom lens for Super35 cameras with a PL mount. The focus, zoom, and iris barrels feature 0.8 MOD gears, which are compatible with cine-standard focus and zoom controls and provide an interface for the detachable ENG-style servo unit. This servo features a 16-bit digital encoder for sharing ARRI LDS and Cooke /i Technology lens data with the camera. The drive unit also features an ENG-style handgrip with a zoom rocker switch and an interface for remote control via a wired or wireless controller from Fujinon or other compatible third-party manufacturers.

Detachable Servo Drive
This telephoto zoom lens covers a widely used 85 to 300mm range and includes a detachable, ENG-style, digital drive unit with a zoom rocker switch for broadcast-style use. When the servo is detached, the 0.8 MOD gearing enables this Cabrio-series lens to be used with traditional cine-style focus and zoom control systems.
High-Performance Optics
  • High-precision optics with aspherical elements provide optimal imaging across the lens from the center to the corners.
  • A lightweight, compact body suits the ZK3.5x85 for both tripod-mounted and handheld capture.
  • Maximum T-stop of T2.9 from 85-215mm and T4.0 at 300mm.
Natural Looking Bokeh
A T2.9 to T22 aperture with nine iris blades creates attractive bokeh effects.
S35 Sensor Coverage
The 31.5mm diameter image circle covers up to Super35 sensors, making it suitable for use with a wide range of cameras.
Cine-Style Gearing
The 0.8 MOD gears are compatible with standard focus, zoom, and iris controls.
Data and Control
Power, data, and control connections to select cameras are provided via the servo interface.
16-Bit Encoder
A 16-bit encoder supports sharing ARRI LDS and Cooke /i Technology lens data with select cameras.
Focus Marks in Feet and Meters
The barrel markings are switchable in the field between feet and meters.

question

Does Fujinon offer mortgages on this lens?
Asked by: Thomas
I paid for mine at time of purchase but they did send me a financing option through Western Equipment Financie. They offered 24 months 0% interest before the new year. That could have been a special end of year thing.
