FUJINON Duvo 24-300mm | BTS with Cinematographer Chris Schmid
I recently took the FUJINON Duvo 24-300mm to Botswana to gather some documentary footage.
The Fujinon Duvo 24-300mm lens is a remarkable asset for wildlife filmmaking, especially when paired with a top-tier sensor, delivering unparalleled reach and image quality. Its impressive zoom range, enhanced by a built-in 1.5x expander, allows me to make seamless transitions between intimate close-ups and wide landscapes, all while preserving exceptional detail and natural colors, making it ideal for capturing the intricate beauty of nature.
*All footage in this video made using Sony Burano with the FUJINON DUVO 24-300mm T2.9-4.2 handheld zoom lens.

Ja deine Bilder und Videos motivieren mich, wirklich raus zu gehen und die Sache zu machen, die ich immer wollte. Diese Videos haben mein Herz schneller schlagen lassen und zeigen mir mal wieder, wie schön Wildlife ist und warum es wichtig es ist, diese Momente für die Menschheit festzuhalten. Danke Chris :)
I could only dream of making something like this! Absolutely incredible!!!
Stunning
0:58 this shot is madness 🔥🔥🔥
Nice one Chris👊🏽
Incredible!!
Sony A9III Or Wait for A1II Or Just Purchase A7C r / A7r v For Artistic Multidisciplinary Photography
Living with Leopards inspired? looks like a lovely lens, beautiful footage.
I haven't watched it yet, but thanks for the feedback! ☺
Beautiful images - but literally every shot is telephoto it seems. So half the lens was left un-demonstrated, so to speak.
Aerial shots and around 30% of the on-ground footage aren't in telephoto. ☺
Mega Aufnahmen! Die Linse is halt auch kein Schnäppchen 😂
Very nice filming, beautiful backlighting. 👏👍
Thanks
absolutely breathtaking you are wizz
MUSK OXEN! truly one of the LORD'S FINEST CREATIONS! MAGNIFICENT ANIMALS!
Einfach grossartig!!! Sooo eine wahnsinns Arbeit!! Episch ❤
Danke vielmal!
Well done man! exquisit images as always! Loving the Burano more every day!
Thanks so much.
Visually stunning, as always.
Thanks again!
@schmidchris your imagery is what I aspire to, colour, composition, subject matter and tasteful editing all coming together seamlessly.
Incredible work!!
Thanks a lot!
Just amazing cinematic Chris. Bravo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 0:57
Absolutely marvelous filming mate. Really fantastic cinematic Chric. Million thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3:21
Thank you so much!
Amazing!
Stunning quality 😎
Fabulous 👏👏👏…we go to Africa in 4 weeks….you have given us some great inspiration 😎
What did you use as a lens ?
Lens used please? ❤
This is what they call “Cinematic”, I have watched this more than I can count. Amazing work, All I can say is thanks for the inpiration Chris Schmid🎬👌🏾🤝🏾
dude, those were sick shots! and is everything recorded with A9 III too?
Everyone with such camera can be pro photographer. It's fact =)
So what I suggest is for you to buy the camera and see if you become a pro photographer. I'll be curious to know how it goes...
Love your work man. Just Subscriped after watching 30 sec of the video.
Can't wait to see the full film. The trailer is already very impressive.
Amazing images. Pure harmony.
Pure art and magic. Stunning work.
Very atmospheric
sh1t on fire!
Is the video footage taken with the A9iii as well?
What gimbal
Hi Schmid! That is beautiful. I wonder what did you do for color grading.
The true power of the north...
Seems like there should be hobbits and a dragon.... just sayin
Pretentious crap, with a ridiculously wet narration. Why watch something that even the producers don't know what it's about?
No homo habilis then?
where can we see this??
Gearing up for the festival circuit now, so might take a while.
This looks like a unique documentary about Musk Ox. Amazing ! Can't wait to see the full film👍
They're Just Musk Ox's!
Yawñnnnnnnnnnnnnñnnñnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
So what gear you used it to filming?
Sign me up! I find these beasts interesting!
I’m there!
Awesome!! Enjoyed very much!!
Wow. Absolutely amazing! Thanks for your dedication to Nature. Subscribed!
