Take a more detailed look into the Canon KH10ex3.6 IRSE
The KH10ex3.6 is the widest angle of view (capable of some 88
degrees horizontally) portable HDTV production lens within the
1/2-inch image format sector of the HDgc family. This particular
lens is intended for broadcast and cable news photographers having
as their foremost priority really wide angle shooting with minimum
chromatic aberrations and low geometric distortion (at the widest
angle) - contained within a lightweight mobile package. It was
specifically designed for the new HD XDCAM camcorders of Sony,
which utilize three 1/2-inch 1440-element CCD imagers. It offers
excellent operational capabilities at a very affordable price in a
compact package weighing 1.87kg.
The lens has high MTF over the entire image plane, minimization of
chromatic aberrations, and maximization of image contrast. Relative
light distribution is optimized for the more open aperture settings
and uniformity of brightness across the image plane combined with
the high contrast and excellent picture sharpness produces vividly
clear HD pictures. Contrast is extended - flare, veiling glare, and
any internal reflections have been substantially reduced. It has
tight control of the geometric distortion at wide-angle settings
and spectral transmittance characteristic adheres to HDTV
colorimetric standards.
Newly developed optical materials combined with the very latest
lens element design innovations and multilayer coatings - that
produce an unsurpassed pristine imaging system for the most
discerning production team.
A Canon design innovation that uses a floating optical system to
better control chromatic aberrations.
Enhanced Digital Drive technology.
16-bit rotary encoder for aperture control reports to the
associated camera Iris control system (10-bit compatibility).
Maximum Zoom speed is 0.5 s
