Recently, Fujifilm has broadened its mid-range of industrial lens portfolio. This range can be seen in five new different models implemented with an aesthetic mechanical structure to provide you with outstanding resistance from shock and vibrations. Are you looking out for a heavy-duty lens that caters to all of your heavy-duty photography needs? Perfect match for your extensive shooting schedule.
Now, you might be excited to know that renowned company Fujifilm North America Corporation, optical devices division, has launched the FUJINON HF-XA-1F series, suitable for the image sizes of 2/3 to 1/1.2 inches & has 5 MP of resolution, including 3.45µm size in pixels. With this series, you will experience a new look and design of lenses.
FUJINON HF-XA-1F Specs:
The new FUJINON HF-XA-1F series is compatible with picture sensors ranging from 2/3 to 1/1.2 inches and up to 5 MP in resolutions, corresponding to 3.45m pixel sizes. The FUJINON HF-XA-1F series lenses incorporate the optical design & performance of the HF-XA-5M lenses into an entirely new mechanical construction that is stress and vibration resistant.
Several distinguishing characteristics of the FUJINON HF-XA-1F include the following:
Minimal Optical shifts and resistance until 10G:
These lenses have focal lengths between 8mm and 35mm. The new series’ optical performance is on par with the FUJINON HF-XA-5M. Minimal warping and constant sharpness at the edges are included in the design, and there is very little deviation. The same image quality is maintained irrespective of the object’s length from the camera.
Fujifilm’s well-known Anti-Shock and Vibration technology and a solid mechanical structure without altering components of the lens can give the HF-XA-1F series the durability it needs. It offers the best optical stability & longevity in the most challenging environments.
Uniquely Designed C-Mount Locking System:
The lens got attached to the camera by winding the C-mount thread until the appropriate level of focus is attained, then removing it from the camera. The mounting nut on the lens is then strengthened to cover the lens completely.
It has a new nut and counters-nut system for the best locking performance, and this method allows the calibration of the whole lens to the sensor without affecting any of the optical glass components over the lens itself. It is one of this lens’s critical features, which gives it more versatility in terms of usage.
Minimal Picture Displacement Due to Fixed Iris:
Interchangeable Iris plates that provide excellent picture quality are a huge plus point for the FUJINON HF-XA-1F lenses. Users can customize the iris by replacing the set iris plate with three additional plates.
Their exchange-ability and screw-locking capabilities allow them to withstand adverse conditions. Fujifilm subjected them to pressures until 10G in 6 directions and measured the optical axis shift resulting from the test to examine the new lenses. The outcome is astounding than conventional lenses, which have hardly detectable modifications.
Designed Especially for Heavy Industrial Applications:
In addition to imaging in challenging environments and on dynamic systems, such as in 3D/Stereoscopy or robotics applications, the FUJINON HF-XA-1F lenses have a unique design that makes them stand out from the crowd.
There are 5 different variants to pick from, with maximum aperture ranging from 8mm – 35mm. These lenses have seen vast usage in numerous photography sectors and have much to offer in terms of value.
The Bottom Line
The FUJINON HF-XA-1F series is one of the best examples of Fujifilm’s lens improvements. Fujifilm has outdone itself with this revolutionary lens series which will genuinely stir up the photography industry. The only thing we can do now is wait for the next big thing by Fujifilm.
