The name "Angénieux" is legendary in the film industry since decades, and the Optimo zooms range represents the pinnacle of everything this reputation is based on.

For most DoPs worldwide, the Optimos are a safe bet. Always faithful to the Angénieux look, they offer an exceptional sharpness and controlled contrast to create a rich, cinematic image, which will benefit from the performance of the very high resolution sensors without accentuate the “video” look often associated with digital .

Their very robust mechanical design will meet all the requirement of a modern cinema set, with a smooth and expanded focus scale as well as standard front diameters and drive gear for all three rings.

Optimo lenses are now the reference lenses in every type of production from feature films, commercials, TV series, video clips to major sports or cultural events.
Exceptional optical quality enables the 19.5-94 to rival the best prime lens series at equivalent focal distances.
