FUJIFILM has just announced that their first Duvo-series portable PL-mount zoom lens, the FUJINON Duvo HZK24-300mm, is now available for pre-order and will start shipping at the end of March 2024. The company also announced their pricing, which is set at $31,999. So, let’s take a closer look at it!

The FUJIFILM FUJINON Duvo HZK24-300mm was announced in September 2023. This PL-mount lens is the first Duvo “portable” zoom lens, following the launch of the massive HZK 25-1000mm F/2.8-5.0 PL-mount cinema box lens in October 2022.

During IBC 2023, we had the chance to talk with Makoto Oishi-san from FUJINON about the Duvo HZK24-300mm, but also the smaller and yet-to-be-released HZK14-100mm.

FUJIFILM FUJINON Duvo HZK24-300mm – key features

We already covered the specifications of the Duvo HZK24-300mm in our previous articles, but here are all the key specifications:

• Covers both Super35 and Full-Frame image sensors via a built-in 1.5x expander. If you use a camera with a Super35 image sensor, it turns the lens into a 36-450mm zoom lens.
• The Duvo HZK24-300mm has a constant maximum aperture of T2.9.
• It features a PL mount, which is compatible with the ZEISS eXtended Data system. This system allows you to record lens metadata (FIZ positions) for post-production use.
• It weighs 2.9kg/6.5 lbs and is 26.9cm/10.6 inches long.

• The Duvo HZK24-300mm’s front diameter is 114mm, which is an industry-standard for matte boxes. Also, the focus, iris, and zoom rings feature 0.8-pitch gears for use with FIZ systems.
• The minimum focusing distance is 88cm/34.6in.

You got it, this won’t be your next everyday lens, but this lens can get you out of most situations and will be very valuable for wildlife, documentary, and event shooters.

Pricing and availability

The FUJIFILM FUJINON Duvo HZK24-300mm is available for pre-order now for $31,999 and will start shipping by the end of this month. Obviously, this lens is targeted more toward rental houses than owner-operators.
