The Angénieux Optimo Style 16-40mm T2.8 is a high-performance, lightweight wide-angle zoom lens designed to deliver the legendary “Angénieux look” for modern 4K and higher resolution digital cinematography. Patterned after the highly acclaimed Optimo DP series, this lens offers a versatile 2.5x zoom range while maintaining a constant T2.8 aperture throughout, ensuring no light loss (ramping) when changing focal lengths. It is engineered with a 31.4mm image circle to provide full coverage for Super 35 sensors and exhibits virtually no focus breathing or distortion. Weighing only 1.92 kg (4.2 lbs) and featuring a standardized 114mm front diameter, it is an ideal choice for handheld operation, Steadicams, and compact gimbal stabilized rigs where mobility and optical precision are equally paramount.
