NAB 2026: Fujifilm Announces Development of FUJINON UA16x4BERD, UA30x7.3BERD, and UA94x8.7BESM 4K Broadcast Zooms

FUJIFILM North America Corporation's Optical Devices Division has announced three new 4K broadcast zoom lenses: the FUJINON UA16x4BERD (UA16x4), FUJINON UA30x7.3BERD (UA30x7.3), and UA94x8.7BESM (UA94x8.7). All three will be shown at NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 19-22, 2026.

UA16x4 and UA30x7.3 - The UA16x4 and UA30x7.3 are portable broadcast zoom lenses. The UA30x7.3 covers a 30x zoom range of 7.3mm-219mm. The UA16x4 covers 4mm-64mm with a 16x zoom range. Both are designed for sports broadcasts, concerts, live events and studio production.

In professional production environments such as sports broadcasts, concerts, live broadcasts, and studio production, it is essential to reliably capture moments that are key to the competition or performance, said Stosh Durbacz, Vice President, Sales, Optical Devices Division, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. We've designed these lenses specifically to meet the needs of these high-stake situations, combining zoom performance that covers a wide range of focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto in a single lens with compact and lightweight designs that allow for agile operation.

UA94x8.7 - The UA94x8.7 is a box zoom lens for 2/3-inch sensor broadcast cameras, covering 8.7mm to 818mm. It sits between Fujifilm's existing UA70x and UA107x box zooms in the product line and includes a proprietary image stabilization system.

As professional video production styles diversify, broadcast equipment is increasingly being utilized across a wider range of settings, resulting in more demand for box lenses that offer high production quality and versatility, yet are still cost effective, said Durbacz. UA94 8.7 sits in a sweet spot between our UA70x and UA107x box zooms. It delivers a proprietary image stabilization system offering superior operability during zooming and focusing, reducing the burden on camera operators, and contributing to smooth operation in live production - at a price point we think will better align with their needs.

The UA94x8.7 is due for release in fall 2026. The UA30x7.3 and UA16x4 are due for release in spring 2027.
