Fujinon Cabrio ZK 85-300mm T2.9-4

Summary

FUJINON ZK3.5×85 is a telephoto zoom lens with a frequuently-used focal length covering from 85 to 300mm.Thanks to the detachable servo drive unit on the ZK series, the lens can be operated in the same manner as a traditional broadcast ENG-Style lens and accessories. Furthermore, with the servo drive unit removed, traditional cinema manual, or external cine motors for zooming and focusing operation is also available for all models of this series. With the latest optical simulation technology and high precision large diameter aspherical elements, it has achieved both high optical performance and a lightweight compact body of 2.9kg. Thanks to high resolution from the center to corner, high image quality without image distortion will be exhibited on the large screens of movie theaters.

Adjust zoom curve:
0.003“ is about 75 microns, I think the mid range spec for the 1st gen 19-90 was about 30 microns. I would try overhauling the zoom cam first (cleaning/changing grease and rollers) and try to bring down this error. If unsuccessful there are spacer washers under the first zoom cell that can be changed. On our collimator if the error is positive we add spacer thickness, if negative we subtract. Re-installing and initializing servo:
