Description — Fujifilm 18-85mm T2.0
The Fujinon 18-85mm T2.0 Premier is a professional cinema zoom lens built around a PL Mount and designed to cover the Super 35 format. It spans a focal length range of 18mm to 85mm, placing it in the standard zoom category and making it a versatile choice for a broad range of cinematic scenarios. The lens delivers a constant maximum aperture of T2.0 across its entire zoom range, which is essential for productions where exposure consistency during zoom moves is non-negotiable.
Focus is manual, reflecting a cinema-grade workflow where a focus puller operates the lens independently. The lens carries no image stabilization, which is standard for a lens of this type intended for fully rigged cinema builds. Weighing 22 lb, it is a substantial optical instrument that demands proper support infrastructure.
No filter thread size is listed in the available specifications.
