Is Fujifilm’s New Broadcast Zoom the Perfect Lens for Virtual and Remote Production?
Fujifilm has introduced a new broadcast zoom lens that is set to bring a longer zoom range, faster zoom speeds, and a precise 16-bit encoder drive to your virtual and remote productions.

FUJINON LA30x7.8
With an official title that’s quite a mouthful, the FUJINON LA30x7.8 is a new broadcast zoom lens with fast electronic flange back adjustment, a simple macro function, and compatibility with the MS-X1 Semi-Servo Kit and Blackmagic controls.
Compared to the previous LA16x8 model, it should be quite an improvement with a longer zoom range, faster zoom speed, and better results for your virtual and remote productions. Let’s take a look at this powerful new broadcast option.
The new FUJINON LA30x7.8
Designed to be a portable, lightweight broadcast zoom lens that includes flange back adjustment, macro function, and compatible accessories that all help for virtual productions and other remote shoots, the new FUJINON LA30x7.8 aims to deliver premium image quality across a versatile range of shooting scenes.
Here are some key features for this new broadcast zoom:
