Nikon Patent Could lead on to DSLR Moviemaking Dream Lens [Patents]

So you bought a nice new DSLR for Christmas , and it should take impressive HD video too! That said, you’ll probably notice that simultaneous zooming and refocusing is below ideal. A new Nikon lens patent aims to fix that.

While one of these lens is unsurprising, given the incredible interest in DSLR filmmaking nowadays, it really is nevertheless very welcome (should it see the light of day).

Should the lens land in prosumers’ hands, they are able to expect an experience as a way to involve a single lens that may zoom by hand (manual mode) or automatically in its movie/video-making mode. Again, this type of lens is no surprise in the slightest degree, however it’s still great to determine Nikon R&D putting design to paper. [ Egami via Nikon Rumors via Engadget ]
