Abakus Stadium Lens
Capture the Entire Stadium for HD and SD

Abakus Stadium Lens, available in HD or SD versions

Achieving a shot that would capture an entire stadium for the 1998 Football World Cup prompted the design of this lens. With a diagonal view of 210 degrees, the Abakus Stadium Lens was a success. It subsequently won the SATISFACIT 2000 award in Paris for Lens Innovation.

Used at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games suspended above the main arena to show the culmination of set pieces during the opening ceremony.

Use this lens to capture any expansive shot, like the full range of a football pass or views of the whole pitch during soccer matches -- for which it's used extensively in England.

Available in 2/3 inch high definition or standard definition formats; B4 mount.

The lens and its component parts are all made in England.
