The Thales Angenieux 40x11 AIF.HR lens is the lens of choice for production veteran Ron Bowring.
Bowring, who has owned Kent Audio Visual in Wichita, Kan. and J&S Audio Visual in Dallas for 25 years, said he has used the lens for five years now, and it has been used at several high-profile events where a long-distance shot was necessary.
"At some of these facilities, it's easier to get the shot from a distance, and the Thales Angenieux 40x11 AIF high-resolution lens delivers smooth zoom and focus that is unmatched by any comparable lens we've tested," Bowring said. "It really allows us to secure long shots with confidence and is a complement to today's high-resolution digital cameras."
The lens is designed for use with digital, ENG/EFP broadcast cameras, and features Assisted Internal Focus capability, a multiplicity of 40x zoom (80x with 2x extender), focal length of 11mm to 440 mm and RS232 serial interface for digital remote control.
