'Lunch & Learn' FUJINON
/ FUJIFILM Lenses

A

s part of the company's overall education
initiative, the Optical Devices Division of
FUJIFILM has embarked on a Lunch & Learn Lenses
series of events in cities across North and South
America.
Each event is an informal discussion over lunch
with representatives from FUJIFILM that provides
attendees with an opportunity to give insight into
what future lens innovations they'd like to see.
"We'll hold discussions where all sorts of questions
about optics are raised, some specific to our
lens design and some more of an industry-wide
discussion," explained Tom Fletcher, Director of
Sales, FUJIFILM Optical Devices Division.
"We ask questions about what image size coverage
they'd like to see, what focal lengths, what T-stop,
anamorphic or spherical, do they prefer images with
more character (taste) or a clean look, and what
are the benefits regarding primes versus zooms. It's
always an extremely engaging conversation and one
that proves of immense value in our own product
development. We're seeing more people sign up and
participate in these events as we hold them in new
cities across the country."
In addition to the optics discussions, the latest
FUJINON lenses are available for attendees to try
out. At each event, the recently released FUJINON

MK50-135mm T2.9 zoom and MK18-55mm T2.9 zoom,
along with the Cabrio 20-120mm T3.5 zoom, will be
on hand.
Cities scheduled for the events include:
Philadelphia; Washington, DC; Chicago; Minneapolis;
Indianapolis;
Detroit;
Cleveland;
Cincinnati;
Columbus; Miami; Nashville; Charlotte; Orlando; St
Louis; Kansas City; Dallas; San Antonio; Houston;

"We're seeing more people sign up
and participate in these events"
