Fujifilm today announced the launch of the IS Pro – its third camera designed to record non-visible light and aimed at the law enforcement, scientific, medical and fine art communities. The camera – we assume it to be based on the S5 Pro – has a modified CCD filter pack and is sensitive to Ultraviolet and Infrared light between 380nm and 1000nm. Fujifilm are offering the IS Pro in four kits ranging from $2599 for the body only to $4999 with a Zeiss 50mm Macro 1:2 F2.0 Lens, suitable filters, HyperUtility processing software and even protective armour for the camera body. This comprehensive package represents a ‘turn-key’ solution to Infrared photography and requires only the addition of a Quartz UV lens for optimum Ultraviolet sensitivity. As was the case with its predecessors the IS Pro appears to be available – officially at least – in the US market only.
