ANGENIEUX OPTIMO 24-290mm ZOOM

Wide 12x Zoom Range: Covers a broad spectrum from wide-angle (24mm) to long telephoto (290mm), reducing the need for frequent lens changes.
Constant T2.8 Aperture: Maintains a bright T2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, ensuring consistent exposure and excellent low-light performance with no “ramping.”
Superb Optical Quality: Delivers sharp images with excellent contrast and color rendition. Often considered a “variable prime” due to its high image fidelity across all focal lengths, rivaling prime lenses.
Minimal Breathing and Distortion: Engineered to significantly reduce focus breathing and optical distortion, ensuring professional cinematic results.
Internal Focus Design: The lens maintains a constant physical length during focus pulls, which is crucial for smooth operation with matte boxes and other accessories.
Precise Focus Control: Features a wide 327° focus rotation with over 70 accurate witness marks, allowing for very precise and repeatable focus pulls. Focus scales can be interchanged between feet and meters.
Robust and Reliable Mechanics: Built with durable, high-quality materials and a robust zoom/focus mechanism designed for the demands of professional production environments.
PL Mount Compatibility: Comes standard with a PL mount, making it compatible with most professional cinema cameras. Optional Canon EF and Panavision mounts may be available.
Academy 35mm Sensor Coverage: Designed to cover Academy 35mm sensors. With optional 1.4x or 2x Optimo extenders, it can extend coverage to Super 35 and even Full Frame/VistaVision (depending on the specific lens model, like the Optimo Ultra 12x variant).
Wide Operating Temperature: Designed to perform reliably across a broad temperature range, from cold to hot environments.
