Fujinon MK 18-55mm T2.9 Cine Lens for Sony E

Fujifilm has developed a new pair of cinema lenses (one of them is MK18-55mm T2.9 Cine Lens) to resolve the less-than-satisfactory aspects of DSLR lenses when used for cine applications. These new lenses produce the high performance and high-quality images demanded by newly developing production markets such as movie distribution services, independent film production, and wedding videos.
FUJINON Cine Lenses have world-class performance and quality ingrained in their DNA. Now, with the debut of the MK Lens series, that heritage finds a new form.

200° focus rotation angle
MK Lenses feature a 200° focus rotation angle—more than double that of a typical DSLR lens. This allows you to focus on images with shallow depths of field, which requires high accuracy.

Fully manual operation with three mechanical lens rings
MK Lenses are equipped with three independently operated mechanical lens rings for focus, zoom, and iris. Because you can adjust the zoom, focus, and iris via fully manual mechanisms, you can operate the camera intuitively without the time lags you get with electric controls.

0.8M standardized gear pitch
Each of the three operating rings (focus, zoom, and iris) features an identical 0.8M gear pitch — the same as on all FUJINON Cine Lenses. This allows you to use follow-focus and other standard cine accessories.

Seamless iris
The iris ring features a seamless mechanism that gives you greater precision when adjusting exposure. It operates without the vibrations and noise that you get with a clicking mechanism.

The MK18-55mm achieves a compact, lightweight body thanks to Super 35mm sensor compatibility and dedicated E-mount design. This portability is ideal for solo operation and run-and-gun shooting, where mobility is crucial.

1. Front diameter: 85mm - MK Lenses feature a front diameter of 85mm, ensuring compatibility with standard matte boxes.
2. Filter diameter: 82mm - The filter diameter of MK Lenses is standardized at 82mm, making it easy to share filters between models.
3. Gear rings are located at the same position - The gear rings for focus, zoom, and iris are located at the same position on two MK Lenses, so there’s no need to readjust the position of accessories.
4. Macro function - MK Lenses feature a macro function that lets you close focus from 0.38 m with the MK18-55m and from 0.85 m with the MK50-135mm at the wide end.
5. Flange focal distance adjustment function - MK Lenses feature a flange focal distance adjustment mechanism, which lets you adjust the distance for individual cameras.
6. Bundled zoom lever - A zoom lever is included to improve zoom ring operability.
7. Bundled support foot - A bundled support foot provides stability to reduce blurring due to the weight of the lens.8
8. Bundled lens hood - A dedicated lens hood to suppress flare and ghosting further expands the possibilities for visual representation.
