XJ95x8.6B 8.6-820mm 1:1.7
The Global expansion of HDTV programming and production has heightened demand
for HD lenses designed for live sports and other mobile location applications. Over
the past decade, Canon has developed a series of telephoto lenses, including the
XJ100x9.3B and XJ86x9.3B/13.5B, to meet the most demanding outside broadcast
applications and today these lenses enjoy a high international reputation. To meet
end-user’s ever-diversifying creative needs, Canon has developed a totally newgeneration super-telephoto XJ95x8.6B lens whose overall design is based upon
many of Canon’s advanced technologies.
The XJ95x’s primary advantage is its unprecedented combination of the widest angle
of view of any HDTV field lens in the broadcasting industry with an augmented 95x
focal range. Its overall optical performance has been significantly elevated and its
built-in image stabilization system redesigned to achieve even higher control over
picture stability at higher vibration frequencies. This is a lens that offers totally new
imaging potential to the global production community involved with HDTV sports and
special event coverage.
Main Features
From Wide Angle to Telephoto
The XJ95x offers an enormous range of imaging possibilities that are impossible
with conventional field lenses, thanks to its 95x zoom ratio and the widest focal
length (8.6mm) of any field lens in the industry. With this extensive image-framing
latitude, the lens can dramatically capture every possible on-site sensation, from
the emotion of an entire crowded stadium to the facial expression of an individual
player.
Incomparable Optical Performance
Canon’s design and production technologies have been refined through more
than 50 years of advanced R&D and extensive experience in broadcast lens
development.
The past decade especially has seen dramatic advances in powerful new 3D optical
design tools, glass materials, and optical coatings.
Canon's mastery of computer-based 3D optical design techniques and use of the
most contemporary optical technologies allow the XJ95x lens to provide a wider
angle of view, a higher zoom ratio, and unparalleled overall optical performance.
Canon’s proprietary large-diameter aspherical lens technology and exotic new
glass materials effectively counter lateral chromatic aberration, monochromatic
aberrations, and geometric distortion that have always been the particular challenge
of large focal-length ranges. Significant reduction of these aberrations further
enhance the resolution and contrast in a manner that contributes to the capture of
images having superb picture sharpness across the 16:9 HD image plane.

ZoomFocus
CAFS (Constant Angle Focusing System)
32-bit CPU calculates and controls the zoom when focusing to counteract
“breathing” (phenomena where picture size/ angle of view changes when focusing)
and has almost zero zoom effect.
