Avatar: The Way of Water, one of the most expensive films ever made was shot 90% on a Fujinon MK 18–55mm T2.9. A prosumer lens that costs just a few thousand pounds was used on a $460 million movie.

In this video, I break down why James Cameron’s team and DP Russell Carpenter chose these lenses - from their lightweight form factor and perfect 3D consistency to their incredible sharpness wide open.
It’s the same reason I’ve always loved these lenses… and why I built our CINELUX Fujinon MK to DSMC2 adapter, the only one in the world that lets you mount these lenses to a RED DSMC2 camera.
