Angenieux Develops Long Zoom Range HD ENG Lens

Thales Angenieux has introduced a new 14 x 4.5 HD wide-angle lens to complement its 19X ENG and 26X telephoto models, which offer the longest zoom range in their respective categories.

The new 14 x 4.5 HD wide angle joins Angenieux’s 19 x 7.3 and 26 x 7.8 HD lens product line. It features a focal range of 4.5 to 63mm (9 to 126mm with 2x extender) and an aperture of f/1.8 (4.5 to 41mm). The 14 x 4.5 HD lens weighs just 4.6 pounds and is available in semi servo and full servo versions, as well as with 16 bit digital connection for zoom and handle connection. 

The 19 x 7.3 HD video lens offers precision optics and a focal range of 7.3mm to 139mm. Weighing only 4 pounds with 2x extender, and 3.7 pounds, the lens’s 19X zoom range allows close-up images with optimized definition and clarity. In addition, the lens’ wide-angle capability is ideal for panoramic like wide shots not possible with conventional ENG lenses.

Angenieux’s 26 x 7.8 HD telephoto features a focal range of 7.8 mm to 203 mm (5.6 mm to 406 mm with a 2x extender) and an aperture of f/2.2. Ideal for high-resolution digital and HDTV cameras, its lightweight and compact size make it a perfect selection for EFP and use in auxiliary shooting situations (i.e. cranes, trucks, stabilization units, etc.).
