ABOUT THIS LENS
The YJ12x6.5B represents an excellent compromise between the demands for good sensitivity (maximum relative aperture of f2.0), mobility, and wide field of view in a lightweight handheld camera system that can address a wide diversity of corporate, business & industrial, and some broadcast applications.

The YJ12x6.5B KRS-A offers a wide range of focal length (from 6.5mm to 78mm) and a generous horizontal field of view of 68.2 degrees. The alternate YJ12x6.5B IRS-A has a 2x extender that facilitates a focal range from 13mm to 156mm. The optical optimization strategies achieved a high MTF profile over the entire image plane, minimization of chromatic aberrations, and maximization of image contrast. Contrast was extended by superb control of black reproduction – with optical and mechanical design innovations that substantially reduced flare, veiling glare, and any internal reflections.
