    Sony unveils new E-mount Cinema lens FE C 16-35mm T3.1 G offering high optical performance and reliable operability for professional video shooting

    This new lens offers greater creative flexibility in video content creation, with servo zoom and autofocus/autoexposure system

    Sony introduced a new full-frame E-mount lens, 16-35mm (FE C 16-35mm T3.1 G) to accompany the newly announced FX9 (model name: PXW-FX9) full-frame format camcorder, offering high optical performance, reliable operability and intelligent shooting functions for professional video creation. Compatible with a wide range of E-mount cameras from VENICE to Alpha™ Interchangeable lens cameras as well as the new flagship FX9, the addition of this new lens optimized for professional video shooting brings unprecedented creative flexibility for content creators.  Sony will further enhance its Cinema Lens line-up going forward.

    “Our ongoing conversations with partners and customers have shown that there is a clear need for versatile tools which improve efficiencies and drive greater ROI (Return on Investment). Along with Sony’s “One Mount” solution based on its Alpha series, the flexibility of our new E-mount Cinema Lens series offers content creators greater creative freedom and helps them concentrate on their artistic vision,” comments Hany Bartella, Business Head – Broadcast & Media ME, Sony Professional Solutions MEA.

    Lens for a new age of full-frame video shooting

    New lens is compatible with intelligent shooting functions of E-mount system that support and improve Large Format Sensor (LFS) shooting. Paired with the new full-frame format camcorder FX9, the new lens supports fast and accurate auto focus, making it possible to track fast moving subjects while maintaining a shallow depth of field.

    Stunning bokeh and corner-to-corner resolution

    The two XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements with extreme surface precision of 0.01-micron, together with circular 11-blade apertures deliver beautifully smooth bokeh in every frame. The two XA elements and three aspheric lenses are positioned in a way that effectively reduces field curvature, astigmatism and, in combination with two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glasses, reduces colour distortion. Additionally, floating focus provides outstanding resolution at every zoom position. Nano AR (Anti Reflection) coating drastically reduces flare and ghost phenomenon.

    Excellent operability with three independent rings, remote control from the camera, and a detachable servo zoom

    The new E-mount lens further offers accurate and precise operability thanks to three independent rings for focus, zoom and iris that content creators can manipulate so they get the exact results they desire. The linear response Manual Focus (MF) feature provides precise manual focusing action. The focus ring with a large rotation angle comes with a distance scale, which makes it possible to quickly and easily set the same focus position during scenes that need to be shot repeatedly.

    Using with compatible cameras such as FX9, remote controllers and supported smartphone applications, full-control of zoom/iris and focus can be operated from the camera. This drastically simplifies lens operation and give more opportunities to capture the critical moment.

    The new range also supports a number of lens accessories to facilitate a variety of different shooting styles. The industry standard 0.8mm pitch gear on each lens ring enables to provide the option to use follow focus. Equally, the widely-available 115mm diameter matte box and lens support can be used to aid accurate, responsive and precise operability. Additional functions include a de-clickable iris ring that prevent unintended iris change during shooting, the paid option to reverse the rotation direction of the zoom ring to be fitted with user’s preference and detachable servo zoom that provides smooth zooming expression.

    The new 16-35mm (FE C 16-35mm T3.1 G) will be available end of 2020.

    To learn more about the new lenses, visit Sony stand (A10, Hall 13) at IBC 2019 from the 13th – 17th September.
