Fuji 17x7.6 berm package HD lens quality?
by david skillicorn (David Skillicorn) on Sep 20, 2007 at 1:57:30 am

I have HDX 900. There is a Fuji 17x7.6 BERM HD lens offered in a package with the P2 cams etc... does anyone have any experience with this lens on good HD camera? It is an entry level HD lens, and I'm sure you get what you pay for... but is it good enough? Pluses, minuses?

thanks.

Fujinon makes some of the best HD glass out there.

chose fujinon over canon after testing both side by side

.[gary adcock] "chose fujinon over canon after testing both side by side"

Canon make industrial HD lenses and broadcast(cine) HD lenses.
You would have to test each lens against each other to make this conclusion.

that is correct

I only tested Broadcast lenses in Cine Barrels (No ENG) and bought 13x and 22x fujinons afterwards.

My suggestion is go wide. It's worth the money. I bought the Fuji 13x4.5 and wouldn't buy anything else after using it. (Unless of course, you never shoot indoors or go wide)

Thanks for the link, however, I think that might be a little to wide for my needs (ENG, handheld, need some lens length, interviews, a little bit of everything, need to be versatile.) Anyone using the Fuji HA 16x6.3 or the percision focus assist lens's? Any user insight on the focus assist lens's would be helpful.

Thanks.

Sorry to come in a little late here (like months), but we have the HDX900 and one of our lenses is the Fuji 16x6.3 and we are extremely happy with it. It's the most versatile I've ever used because it is somewhat wide, but still has enough focal length for the longer shots as well. It's a great handheld lens, albeit a bit heavy, because it has a minimum focus distance of like a foot. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about it.
