Canon Unveils The CJ20ex7.8B
Canon has unveiled the CJ20ex7.8B – a 2/3" portable 4K zoom lens for professional broadcast. It offers a 20x zoom ratio and focal-length range from 7.8mm to 156mm.
First demonstrated as a prototype at IBC 2015 in September, the new lens enables high-resolution, high-impact 4K video content for a range of applications, such as sporting events, news coverage, and documentaries, as well as indoor and outdoor location shooting for serial dramas.
