Whether you own or plan to buy the Sony PDW-F350 or the PDW-F330 XDCAM HD Camcorder, you’ll want to make sure there’s a new Canon HDgc lens out in front. HDgc lenses combine the best features of Canon’s remarkable lens technologies to deliver HD optical quality and other higher-end advancements. The HDgc line’s lenses for 1/2-inch CCD cameras include: the KH21ex5.7 IRSE (telephoto lens), the
KH10ex3.6 IRSE (wide-angle lens), and the KH16ex5.7 IRSE (standard lens). Canon’s exclusive Digital “eDrive” is included in all three of these lenses, and is
a principal difference (along with zoom speed range and a built-in 2X extender) between these models and the more economical 1/2-inch KH20x6.4 KRS and KH19x6.7 KAS lenses.

•10X zoom ratio, and a 2X extender
•Wide-angle version (3.6mm wide angle)
