ABOUT THIS LENS

The YJ19x9B represents an excellent compromise between the demands for high sensitivity (maximum relative aperture of f 1.8) and mobility in a lightweight handheld camera system that can address a wide diversity of corporate, business & industrial, and some broadcast applications.

The YJ19x9B KRS offers a wide range of focal length (from 9mm to 171mm) and a generous horizontal field of view of 52.1 degrees. The alternate YJ19x9B IRS has a 2x extender that facilitates a focal range from 18mm to 342mm. The optical optimization strategies achieved an excellent MTF profile over the entire image plane, minimization of chromatic aberrations, and maximization of image contrast. Contrast was extended by superb control of black reproduction - with optical and mechanical design innovations that substantially reduced flare, veiling glare, and any internal reflections.
