Canon HJ18x Telephoto Portable Lens Announced

Canon’s new, smaller, lightweight HJ18ex28B IASE Super Telephoto HD lens lets broadcasters and content producers capture those “really long-distance” images with ease.
This latest Canon advance, an eHDxs portable lens with a focal-length range of 28 to 500mm (1000mm with built-in 2X extender), weighs less than six pounds (less than half the weight of comparable lenses) and requires no supporter for maximum mobility. Ideal for sports, stabilized helicopter mounts, documentaries, special events, or live reality programming.
The new HJ18ex28B IASE lens is one more in an expanding line-up of portable Canon eHDxs lenses, which brings the total number of lenses introduced over the last four years to eight. It maintains the company’s lead in the HD lens marketplace: a lead created by innovative products that combine enhanced technology with ease-of-use.
Canon eHDxs lenses feature innovative technologies that address the complex demands of HD lens design in terms of ergonomics, features, price, size, and weight. Thus, the HJ18ex28B IASE lens includes Canon’s Enhanced Digital eDrive, as well as a built-in focus motor, in addition to the zoom and iris motors traditionally found in portable ENG/EFP lenses.
