New FUJINON LA16x8BRM lens designed for the URSA Broadcast Camera

FUJIFILM has launched the new FUJINON LA16x8BRM 2/3” Professional 4K lens designed specifically for the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast camera. The LA16x8BRM is compact and lightweight and provides the Blackmagic URSA with 4K and HD resolution. One thing to note is Fujinon hasn’t stated when or if they intend to sell the new zoom lens as a stand-alone purchase. As of now, it’s only available bundled with a URSA Broadcast camera.
