cus pulls, and the iris
is clickless, enabling
smooth iris pulls. The
lens also incorporates
a macro mode for close
focusing capabilities.
The lens is color
matched
to other
Fujinon
lenses
such as
the HK, ZK,
and XK se-
ries, which
enables
smooth in-
tercutting
between
lenses. The
85mm front
enables use
with many
cine-style
matte boxes
via the use
of option-
al step up
rings (rings
not includ-
ed). The lens
weighs only
2.16 pounds,
which is fair-
ly light for a cinema
zoom that holds focus
and aperture through-
out the focal length
range. It is designed
for camera’s with a
Sony E-mount, so it
has a short flange fo-
cal distance, but the
lens allows flange focal
distance adjustment
so you can fine tune it
to the camera you are
using the lens on.

Industry standard 0.8
film pitch gears for
focus, zoom, and iris
control
The gear rings posi-
tions for focus, zoom,
and iris are located at

both lenses in the MK
series, making switch-

zooms quick as you
don’t have to adjust

Both lenses in the MK
series have the same
weight and length so
here is no need to re-
balance your camera

one lens to the other

No shims are required
to adjust the flange

lens has a built-in ad-

Feet and Meters mark-
ing makes it easier to
work. For longer sub-
ject distances cine-
matographers tend to
calculate distances in
meters while in shorter
distances they will like
to work with feet.
