ANGENIEUX OPTIMO 24-290MM 12X ZOOM LENS

The Angénieux Optimo 24-290mm T2.8 is a legendary high-magnification cinema zoom lens that has served as an industry benchmark since its introduction. Renowned for its “variable prime” quality, it offers a massive 12x zoom range while maintaining a fast, constant aperture of T2.8. It is engineered for high-end feature films, commercials, and broadcast productions where uncompromising optical performance and mechanical precision are required.

Key Features:

12x Zoom Range (24-290mm): Provides extreme versatility, covering everything from wide-angle vistas to tight telephoto close-ups without the need for frequent lens changes.
Constant T2.8 Aperture: Ensures consistent exposure throughout the entire zoom range with no ramping (light loss) when zooming in.
Variable Prime Quality: Delivers sharpness and contrast levels that rival high-end prime lenses, even at wide-open apertures.
Zero Focus Breathing: Advanced optical design ensures that the field of view does not change while racking focus, maintaining cinematic composition.
Precise Mechanical Engineering: Features a 327° focus rotation with over 70 precise witness marks for highly accurate focus pulls.
Expander Compatibility: Can be paired with 1.4x or 2x extenders to increase focal reach and expand sensor coverage to Super 35+ and beyond.
Thermal Stability: Operates reliably in extreme environments thanks to a back-focus temperature compensation system (typically -20°C to +45°C).
