glass for HPX500
Here in Atlanta I doubt I’ll find a dealer with both (though I’ll try) to compare, SO – any personal preferences when it comes to ($5-$9k) Fugi vs Canon 2/3″ glass?
The choice comes down to either a Fugi XA17x7.6BERM-M58B or a Canon KJ16ex7.7B IRSD PS12, as these are among the few lenses that the HPX500 CAC circuitry (Chromatic Aberration Compensation) supports now. -

Can’t speak to these particular lenses, but I’ve always been a Fujinon fan. Also, the Fuji at 7.6mm will have a slightly wider FoV, as well as an extra 6mm on the tight end.
Canon makes nice glass, my old F1 with it’s lenses was my favorite 35mm camera, but I’ve always found their video lenses to be….. ergonomically challenged. They’ve gotten a lot better, especially with hand held type lenses like these, but Fujinons still feel better to me.
(Don’t get me started on studio lenses. Every time I have to take my thumb of off the zoom rocker on a canon rear control to press the return button I just want to scream “What’s the matter with you guys! Haven’t you ever talked to a camera operator?”)
Let us know how you like the 500. I’m really interested in this one.
Regards,
David
