ANGENIEUX OPTIMO 15-40MM ZOOM LENS

The Angenieux Optimo 15-40mm T2.6 is a lightweight, high-performance wide-angle zoom lens that has become a staple in professional cinematography. Renowned for its “Angenieux look”—a signature blend of sharpness and organic texture—it provides the versatility of a zoom with the optical quality typically reserved for prime lenses.

Key Features:

Exceptional Optical Quality: Delivers consistent colorimetry and contrast across the entire zoom range, matching perfectly with the rest of the Optimo series.
Fast Aperture: A constant T2.6 maximum aperture throughout the focal range allows for excellent performance in low-light environments and shallow depth-of-field control.
Compact and Lightweight: Weighing only 4.2 lbs (1.9 kg), it is ideal for handheld, Steadicam, and gimbal work where agility is crucial.
No Breathing: Advanced internal focus design minimizes “lens breathing” (the shifting of focal length when adjusting focus), ensuring a cinematic feel during rack focuses.
Short Minimum Focus: With a close-focus distance of 2 feet (0.6 meters), it excels at capturing intimate, wide-angle detail shots.
Interchangeable Mounts: Native PL mount with options for EF or Panavision compatibility, making it adaptable to various camera systems.
