The Angenieux Optimo Ultra 12x is the successor to the industry-standard 24-290mm zoom, redesigned for the modern era of high-resolution cinematography. It is a high-end, multi-format zoom lens that utilizes innovative IRO (Interchangeable Rear Optics) technology, allowing a single lens body to be configured for Super 35, Ultra 35, or Full Frame/VistaVision sensors. Known for the classic “Angenieux look” characterized by smooth skin tones and a perfect balance between contrast and resolution—this lens is a staple for feature films, high-end commercials, and live broadcast productions requiring long-range reach without compromising on optical quality.

Key Features:

IRO Technology®: Easily switch between three sensor formats (S35, U35, and FF/VV) by swapping modular rear groups and lens barrels.
Massive 12x Zoom Range: Offers extensive reach, from wide-angle to tight close-ups, effectively replacing multiple prime lenses.
Constant Aperture: Features no “ramping” (light loss) across the entire zoom range, maintaining a consistent T-stop from wide to telephoto.
Zero Breathing: Minimal focus breathing ensures the frame remains stable when racking focus between subjects.
Advanced Optical Design: Incorporates aspherical elements to virtually eliminate color fringing and distortion, supporting up to 8K resolution.
Rugged Mechanics: Built for the field with passive thermal compensation (stable from -20°C to +40°C) and improved dust/moisture resistance.
Assistant Friendly: Ergonomic focus ring with 321° of rotation and over 70 focus marks for precise, repeatable pulls.
