ANGENIEUX OPTIMO 4.7X 17-80mm ZOOM

The Angénieux Optimo 17-80mm T2.2 is a legendary wide-to-mid-range zoom lens that has long been a staple of high-end feature film and commercial production. Renowned for its exceptionally fast T2.2 aperture, it offers a depth of field and low-light capability rarely seen in a zoom of this range, often allowing it to replace a complete set of wide and normal prime lenses. It delivers the signature “Angénieux look”—a harmonious blend of high resolution, natural contrast, and organic skin tones—while maintaining impeccable mechanical precision. Designed for Super 35mm formats, the 17-80mm provides a versatile 4.7x magnification, making it a “workhorse” lens for everything from expansive establishing shots to intimate medium close-ups.
