8K ready lens

[sanj]

Friends. There is a thread on this forum about a new '8K ready' lens. I do not understand what makes a lens 8K ready? Can anyone please educate me on this? While you are at it, please let me know if the new RF lenses are 8K ready or not? I thank you for your knowledge.

Yes, any lens can be used with a 8K camera, but when Its for the video lenses, the kind broadcasters use. Lenses need to have a resolution capable of matching a camera and the intended resolution of the capture. Getting high resolution parafpcal zoom, and superior optics is difficult. As resolution goes up, so does the price.

There are several reviews sites, e.g. opticallimits.com, the-digital-picture.com, and imaging-resource.com

I checked the digital picture 50mm rf lens and it does not mention 'resolution' anywhere. Thx
