Highest image quality for innovative pictorial expressions.
Fujinon HD CINE SUPER E Series:
For the uncompromising creators.
Focal length
The diagonal image size of the HD camera CCD is 11 mm, that is about 1/2.5 of that of a 35mm film format lens which is 27.26mm. The "CINE SUPER E" series has been designed to have the same angular field of view as the most commonly used 35 film format lenses so that cinematographers can easily adapt to the HD format.
High performance at wide apertures
Three-dimensional image expression commonly referred to as "detail in the out of focus image" peculiar to cinematography, benefits from the shallowness of the depth of field of a large aperture lens. The "CINE SUPER E" series is optimized to operate at the fastest possible T-No. "Tl.5 - Tl.8" resulting in a shallow depth of field for three-dimensional image expressions.
Constant T-No.
Changes in the T-No. when zooming is considered unfavorable in cinematography. Therefore demand for constant T-No. when using a cinematography zoom lens is desired. All 4 zoom lens models in the "CINE SUPER E" series maintains a constant T-No. from the wide end to the telephoto end.
Crisp, sharp and high contrast images
Fujinon has utilized the optical designing skills from many years of development and research of HDTV and film format lenses to create the "CINE SUPER E" series in answer to the increasing demands of cinematographers for a more precise, aberration free image. A low dispersion and high refractive index glass such as CaF2 fluorite is perfectly balanced in reducing chromatic aberrations. In addition each glass material is coated by a new Fujinon EBC coating to decrease flair and ghosts and provides for a high contrast and high MTF image with low color fringing throughout the image plane. The high MTF of the "CINE SUPER E" series is not effected by changes in iris nor the difference in shooting distance.
Minimized focus breathing
One of the main features of the "CINE SUPER E" series is the minimum changes to the field of view during focusing. For most standard lenses when focusing the field of view changes as though the lens is zooming. The phenomenon is called focus breathing. "CINE SUPER E" has adopted an inner focus and floating method for the lens focus structure to eliminate the focus breathing phenomenon to a level which does not interfere the visual content of the production.
Excellent relative
As the 16:9 wide image is projected onto a big screen incinematography by HD system, it is very important for the brightness of the projected image to be uniform all over the screen up to the corners. So a lens with superbrelative illumination is required. The diameter of a lens must be larger to achieve better relative illumination resulting in the compensation of aberrations being increasingly more difficult. "CINE SUPER E" series achieves excellent relative illumination and high resolutionover the entire picture area even with the iris fully open. As brightness is uniform all over the screen, the depth of field remains the same level from the center to the corners creating detail in soft-focus areas of the image.
Color matching
In cinematography, lenses are chosen for each scene according focal length making it extremely important for all lenses to have the same color-balance. The "CINESUPER E" series are designed and manufactured to exhibit the same transmission characteristics by using various glass materials in ideal balance and by adoption of New EBC Coating suitable for each optical element. This eliminates time spent for color adjustment and contributes to overall savings.
Equipped with back focus
adjustment mechanism
"CINE SUPER E" series lenses have a precise back focus adjustment mechanism. Even when lenses are slightly mismatched with the HD camera, it is quite easy to readjust its backfocus. The error of its back focus can be easily adjusted by remote control, on the "CINE SUPER E" series when equipped with an optional servo system.
Engraved markings
All of the models for the "CINE SUPER E" series has the model name engraved on the lens. In addition scales for the focus, zoom and iris are colored and etched accurately on both sides of the lens barrel for easy reading. All models are available with scales in feet or meters. Example;
HAeF5-F Feet scaled
HAeF5-M Metric scaled
Uniformed size and shape,
popular accessories can be used.
We have unified the size and shape of the "CINE SUPER E PRIME" series for efficient lens changes eliminating the worries of also changing the matte boxes, follow-focus systems and other accessories. All "CINE SUPER EPRIME" front diameters are o95mm and the focus and iris gear's diameter, thread and positions are also unified. HAe3x5, HAe5x6 and HAel0xl0 front diameters are unified at o130mm. Zoom, focus and iris gear diameter, thread and positions are unified including theHAel2x9.5 (o160mm). Matte-box, follow-focus and other cinematography accessories of ARRIFLEX and CROSZIEL are compatible.
11 iris blades
Both “CINE SUPER E PRIMES” and “CINE SUPER E ZOOM” are equipped with 11 iris blades. This multi-blade system improves the resolution of out-of-focus images and is essential to create three-dimensional pictures. Furthermore, it reduces beams of light when shooting a point light source.
