Videocraft, a prominent player in Australia’s production landscape, has made history by becoming the first company in the country to purchase the innovative FUJINON Duvo 25-1000mm CineBox PL Lens. This lens, introduced at NAB earlier this year, offers an extraordinary 40x zoom ratio, with a maximum aperture of F2.8, and is engineered to cater to large sensor cameras while delivering a cinematic look through its impressive bokeh capabilities. Videocraft’s decision to invest in this groundbreaking lens aligns with its commitment to offering cutting-edge equipment and solutions to meet its clients’ evolving needs, with a particular focus on enhancing live production capabilities.
James Taylor, Sales Director at Videocraft, emphasized the significance of the Duvo 25-1000 lens, stating, “The new Duvo 25-1000 lens is the most exciting lens that has come onto the market in the last twenty years, in my opinion.” The lens’s versatility allows for wide-angle shots at 25mm and tight, highly detailed shots at 1000mm, making it an all-in-one solution for various filming scenarios.
Taylor further highlighted the Duvo 25-1000’s game-changing features, including image stabilization and full servo control, which greatly streamline the workflow for technicians. He noted that this lens’s speed and image stabilization set it apart from other long focal length zoom lenses on the market, making it an ideal addition to Videocraft’s equipment lineup.
Videocraft’s investment in the Duvo 25-1000 lens is part of a broader effort to refresh its entire lens fleet. The company has also acquired FUJINON UA46x and UA125x UHD B4 mount zooms, along with additional FUJINON Cabrio 19-90 and 25-300 zoom lenses. FUJINON’s exceptional lens quality and the strong support provided by FUJIFILM Australia played a significant role in Videocraft’s choice to partner with FUJINON for their lens needs.
Shaun Mah, General Manager of Electronic Imaging & Optical Devices Division at FUJIFILM Australia, expressed excitement about Videocraft’s acquisition of the Duvo 25-1000 lens and praised Videocraft for its commitment to providing top-tier equipment to meet market demands. He underlined the Duvo 25-1000’s unmatched capabilities for clients in need of a fast lens with a long focal length, making it a valuable addition to Videocraft’s extensive inventory.
Videocraft’s continuous dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements and market trends underscores the company’s leadership in the Australian production landscape. Their collaboration with FUJINON further solidifies their commitment to offering clients the best equipment available to meet their diverse needs.
FUJINON’s Duvo range represents the next step forward in Videocraft’s lens investment strategy, further strengthening their partnership with FUJINON to deliver exceptional quality and value to their clients.
