With the introduction of High Definition Technology
into compact box type cameras, the requirements
for the television broadcast and surveillance
markets for high performance remote control lenses
has dramatically increased. In response, Canon
proudly offers 8 remote control lenses that set
new standards for quality including the new Super
Telephoto HJ18ex28B ITS-RE/ME.

HJ18ex28B ITS-RE/ME lens weighs only 5.7 lbs and

developed over our long history producing the
world’s best high definition lenses. This
incredible lens offers exceptional optical performance
and a 28 – 500mm focal length range (56
– 1000mm with the 2X extender), while providing
the same control interface used by our existing

to be perfectly compatible with existing pro-video
and broadcast pan-tilt systems.
