Sitting between the wider ZK14-35mm and the longer ZK25-300mm, the Fujinon ZK19-90mm T2.9 Cabrio Premier brings a practical documentary and ENG-style focal range to a PL-mount Super 35mm zoom. Like the rest of the Cabrio Premier line, its focus, zoom and iris barrels use the industry-standard 0.8 film pitch, interfacing with a removable ENG-style digital drive unit — useful for moving between a deliberate cine set-up and fast-turnaround broadcast or documentary work.

Nine-blade T2.9 iris inside a 31.5mm image circle

The lens holds a constant T2.9 maximum aperture across nine iris blades, with a 31.5mm-diameter image circle.

An ENG-style hand grip drive for the mid-range Cabrio zoom

Fitted, the removable drive is an ENG-style hand grip with a zoom rocker switch and 16-bit encoding, controllable via a wired or wireless controller from Fujinon or a compatible third party — a familiar setup for an operator already running other Fujinon ENG lenses. A digital auto-aligning system calibrates the drive to the zoom, focus and iris gears on attachment, and power reaches the lens through an external connector or the PL mount's hot-shoe interface.

ARRI LDS and /i Technology data to the camera

Electrical contacts built into the rear PL mount share ARRI LDS and Cooke /i Technology lens data with the camera, keeping zoom, focus and iris settings available to the camera system and to any on-set metadata or virtual-production workflow that reads lens data from the mount.

A 200-degree focus throw with macro and back-focus adjustment

The focus barrel turns through 200 degrees for fine adjustment, with a macro focus function and a back-focus (flange focal distance) adjustment mechanism built into the PL mount — useful for matching flange depth against other PL lenses on the same camera body.
