History of FUJINON Lens

FUJINON Corporation became the Fujifilm Optical Device Business Division as of July 1, 2010. As part of this transition, we have also redesigned the "FUJINON" logo. The new FUJINON brand logo will appear on all Optical Device Division products. With the consolidation of Fujifilm and FUJINON, we seek to accelerate the integration of FUJINON's long-accumulated optical technologies into Fujifilm's imaging and production technologies to enhance FUJINON's TV lens value through consolidation synergies, and to further expand our leadership in the TV lens business.
