The Fujinon Premista 80-250mm T2.9-3.5 is the telephoto zoom of Fujinon’s Premista family — the second lens in the series, introduced at IBC 2019 and available from December 2019 to complete the initial Premista duo alongside the 28-100mm, forming a nearly 10x continuous coverage from 28mm to 250mm: with the first two Premista zooms combined, cinematographers already cover the most widely used focal range in Large Format / Full Frame production. Together with the Premista 19-45mm and 28-100mm, the 80-250mm is the third pillar of the complete three-lens Premista system — continuous focal coverage from 19mm to 250mm in Large Format / Full Frame with identical colour, visual character, and 114mm front diameter. Aperture of constant T2.9 from 80mm to 200mm, with progressive ramping to T3.5 between 201mm and 250mm — and full 46.3mm diagonal image circle coverage for all current Large Format and Full Frame sensors. The definitive tool for the cinematographer working in long telephoto in Large Format.
Its image is exceptional across the full focal and aperture range: prime-level edge-to-edge resolution across the entire 80 to 250mm range — thanks to the use of large-diameter aspherical elements and Fujifilm’s new focus and zoom system —, minimal distortion across the full focal range, minimal chromatic aberration, precise and natural colour rendition perfectly matched to the rest of the Fujinon Premista range, suppression of unwanted flares and ghosting for maximum dynamic range, and a natural and harmonious bokeh — with an extremely shallow depth of field at 250mm in Large Format that only this format can deliver — generated by its 13-blade iris. Horizontal angle of view in Full Frame from 25.4° to 8.2° — in Super 35 from 19.5° to 6.3°. Compatible with both the ZEISS eXtended Data and Cooke /i Technology metadata systems, flange focal distance adjustment function with hex set screw, 280° of focus rotation, a length of 295mm, and a weight of 3.8 kg.
Perfect for: cinematographers working in Large Format or Full Frame who seek the most complete and cinematically rich telephoto zoom in the Premista system — constant T2.9 from 80mm to 200mm, full LF/FF coverage, prime-level edge-to-edge resolution, 13-blade iris, unmatched Large Format bokeh at 250mm, compatible with ZEISS eXtended Data and Cooke /i, only 3.8 kg —, as the natural companion to the Premista 28-100mm for continuous coverage from 28mm to 250mm, or as the third pillar of the complete Premista system alongside the 19-45mm and 28-100mm for total coverage from 19mm to 250mm, for feature films, series, commercials, nature documentaries, crane and helicopter work, sports, and any Large Format / Full Frame production where extreme long telephoto reach, cinematic large-format bokeh, and Fujifilm’s exceptional image quality are the definitive single-zoom tool.
