• Focal length 500mm (1000mm with extender)
• Weighs only 2.576kg
• Internal focus – minimises chromatic aberrations
• Enhanced Digital Drive technology
• Ecological, robust ergonomic design

The HJ18ex28B IASE A provides the longest focal length in its class. With an overall length of 176.2mm and a weight of just 2.576kg it requires no mechanical support system to mount to the HD camera. Aerial shooting (using stabilized gimbals), means sports, entertainment coverage and portable HD acquisition in arduous terrain are all superbly supported by this low-weight compact lens. The HJ18ex28B IASE A can extend to 500mm focal length (and to 1000mm with the extender). It has a very impressive optical speed of F2.8 up to a focal length of 286mm.

High contrast is ensured by superb control of black reproduction – with optical and mechanical design innovations that substantially reduced flare, veiling glare, and any internal reflections. Similar attention to minimization of ghost images and other highlight-related chromatic distortions caused by strong light sources on-axis and off-axis further extend the operational contrast range of the lens.

The focal length of this lens is 25% longer than the HJ40x10.
