ANGENIEUX OPTIMO 4.7X 17-80mm ZOOM LENS

The Angénieux Optimo 17-80mm T2.2 is a legendary wide-to-mid range studio zoom that has long been a staple on high-end feature film and commercial sets worldwide. Renowned for its incredibly fast T2.2 aperture—a rarity for a zoom of this range—it offers cinematographers the ability to maintain consistent exposure and a shallow depth of field typically reserved for prime lenses. It delivers the classic “Angénieux look,” characterized by organic skin tones, superb contrast, and a poetic texture that softens the clinical edge of modern digital sensors. While larger than its lightweight counterparts, its mechanical precision and optical excellence make it the definitive choice for sophisticated A-camera configurations requiring uncompromising performance from a wide 17mm to a portrait-length 80mm.
