The Fujinon HA18x5.5BERM is a portable HDTV broadcast lens covering 5.5mm at the wide end to 100mm telephoto. It combines large-diameter aspheric glass and Fujifilm optical simulation design to produce sharp center-to-corner resolution and consistent image quality across the zoom range, making it suitable for live production and location shoots where compact form and image fidelity matter.

Key Features
