Gear pitch specification for Fujinon ENG lens iris ring control
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The iris ring on Fujinon ENG lenses uses a 0.4 gear pitch for follow focus control
- Wireless iris control requires appropriate gears matched to the lens specifications
- Iris pull responsibilities should be assigned to camera department personnel rather than the focus puller
Depends on
- The specific Fujinon ENG lens model shown in the original image is not identified by model number in the thread
- Gear availability varies by motor system and rental inventory
- Discussion references older motor systems from around 2013 which may have different specifications than current equipment
