Sure you can do a crash zoom, very nice effect if used sparingly, but the real purpose is the speed at which you can reframe. ![]() That's what the manual zoom is all about. You may be used to having a fixed focal length prime which absolutely have their place, but primes also bring problems of their own such as having to have multiple different focal length lenses which also means you have to carry them, but the real killer I find is the time taken to change lenses which can kill a moment or just burn into the time you have for your shoot.įor live events, you need to be able to react really quickly, so changing lenses is just out of the question. It puts the creative control right in your hands. I cannot express how important it is to have full manual control over a lens. URSA Broadcast Demo with Fujifilm LA16X8BRM 4K Lens from MadPanic on Vimeo. ![]() Below is a video containing a number of shots that I hope will show some of the characteristics of both the lens and of the camera, such as the zoom range, the manual & auto exposure, manual zoom & servo zoom, resolution, and macro lens mode. The LA16 is sharp right to the edges and the resolution at the wide end is so impressive. ![]() The lens is incredibly sharp and displays no vignetting such as the SD lens I have used before. ![]() The lens can be switched to auto where the camera is in control, and for the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast, this means either using the dial on the side of the camera, the touch screen, or indeed, auto exposure. With the LA16, you have smooth control from fully open at f/1.9 right down to fully closed. The manual aperture alone is a really great feature of a lens as it allows you to gently change exposure rather than clicking through a set of fixed stages that have a noticeable stepping effect. It comes with manual zoom, manual focus, and manual aperture. The LA16X8BRM 4K lens (let's call it the LA16 for short), is an 8mm - 128mm Zoom lens for the URSA Broadcast camera. ![]()
