Premista Series - Overview

The Premista19-45mm is a wide-angle zoom lens that covers focal lengths from 19mm to 45mm with a constant T-stop of 2.9^*1. Featuring large-diameter aspherical lens elements and a unique zooming system, the lens achieves an astonishing level of edge-to-edge sharpness. Additionally, the distortion minimal throughout the entire zoom range, even at the widest focal lengths.  A compact 230mm / 9” length and 3.3kg / 7lb 4oz weight, accomplished through world-class mechanical design cultivated over many years, means that this new zoom lens can be utilized for handheld shooting using a Steadicam^*2 or other stabilizing system, as well as high-angle shooting using a crane. Combined with its wide-angle focal lengths and low distortion, the Premista 19-45mm will give cinematographers the ability to add a new perspective to their filmmaking while still minimizing the down time usually spent changing focal lengths.

• *2 Equipment for shooting stable video, which reduces unwanted movement that can occur when shooting handheld video.

The Premista28-100mm, the first of the series to be released, is a standard zoom lens covering a 28-100mm focal length. This is the equivalent of 6 prime lenses ^*3, which saves both time and cost caused by changing lenses frequently. Thanks to the adoption of a large-diameter aspherical lens and a new focus/zoom system, the Premista achieves stunning optical quality from the center to the corners, allowing the cinematographer to capture the feeling and texture of the subjects. The lens design contributes to the wide dynamic range by suppressing unwanted flare and ghosts thanks to Fujifilm’s original optical calculation software.

• *3 Standard 6 lens cine prime set of “29mm, 35mm, 40mm, 65mm, 85mm, 100mm”

The Premista80-250mmT2.9-3.5 is a telephoto zoom lens covering a 80-250mm focal length. It achieves stunning optical quality from the center to the corners and suppress unwanted flare and ghosts.

The Premista80-250mm can be combined with the Premista28-100mm to form a kit that covers the most frequently-used focal length between 28mm and 250mm, accommodating a variety of scene changes. They share a common front element diameter and three-ring gear positions, allowing users to use the same accessories such as matte boxes and follow focus.
