Check out our new Fujinon Premista Zoom lenses now available to rent! They cover large format sensors, are razor sharp, and feature minimal distortion and aberration, making them perfect for achieving clean visuals.
Thanks to the adoption of a large-diameter aspherical lens and a new focus/zoom system, the Premista achieves stunning optical quality from the center to the corners allowing cinematographers the ability to capture the fine detail and texture of whatever subject they might be photographing.
Additionally, the lenses feature ZEISS eXtended Data compatibility making them a great choice for virtual production.

Additionally, First Check was shot by Camera Ambassador regular Joe Martinez Jr. and produced by Judy Febles.
