New 4k Broadcast Zoom Lenses from Fujinon

Ahead of IBC, Fujinon has released details of two new broadcast zoom lenses: the LA30x7.8BRM coming in October and the UA22x4.8BERD currently in development for release next year.

Fujinon LA30x7.8BRM

The LA30x7.8 is a portable zoom lens for 2/3-inch sensor broadcast cameras. It boasts what the company says is a highest-in-class 30x zoom, covering the focal range from 7.8 mm - 234 mm. A compact (190 mm / 7.48-inch) and lightweight (1.7kg / 3.75 lb) design enables high mobility and versatility.

When receiving auto focus commands from the camera, the lens shows minimal focus breathing and operates quietly thanks to a rear focus mechanism design. Fujinon says it achieves a maximum speed of 1.0 sec and minimum speed of 120 sec when zooming from wide to tele end.

Built with virtual and remote production in mind, the lens also features a newly developed drive unit with high resolution 16-bit encoders designed for extremely accurate position detection and control.

Pricing and Availability

The Fujinon LA30x7.8BRM will cost $7299. Orders are open now, and shipping is expected to be underway by the end of October.

Fujinon UA22x4.8BERD

With a lightweight and compact design measuring 252 mm / 9.92 inches  and weighing 2.2kg / 4.85 lb, the UA22x4.8BERD covers a wide angle of 4.8 mm and has a high zoom magnification of 22x. Fujinon has designed it for a wide range of shooting scenarios such as news reporting, studio production, and sports broadcasting, making it a potentially extremely versatile workhorse.

Pricing and Availability

The UA22x4.8BERD is expected to be released in Spring 2026. A prototype will be showcased under glass at IBC.
