Several things stand out to me with these broadcast box lenses:
- constant apertures like f/1.7 over a huge zoom range like 30X, to about 350mm, only slowing down over the last 2X or so of the range
- industry-wide standard lens mounts (including a new 1.25” based format for 8K, still smaller than 4/3” format), which goes with ...
- two dominant brands—Canon and Fujinon, so that even Sony broadcast cameras are typically used with those “third party” lenses.
It’s impressive what can be done with the tiny 2/3” format for 4K and 1.25” for 8K when the cost and bulk of lenses is not a constraint!
