Optimo Prime Series
The awaited core of the Angénieux High-End Full Frame Solution
We take your creativitya step further
The Full Frame Optimo Prime Series is a perfect match with the Optimo Ultra 12X, the new long-range zoom reference of the industry, and the new Ultra Compact series. The Optimo Prime series is part of Angénieux’s latest high-end lens collection and is ideal for demanding productions requiring native cinema design. 70-years after the first Angénieux prime series, Optimo Primes are the result of decades of proven experience and know-how in high-precision optics and mechanics. They are based on cinematographers and rental companies feedback.
Each lens in the 12 pieces of the series (from 18mm to 200mm) was designed to be incredibly compact and lightweight, most of them at a fast T1.8 with Optimo-class mechanics and feel that embodies the legendary Angénieux look.
Optimo Primes are like several series in one with customizable lenses thanks to the unique Integrated Optical Palette providing special user-features (interchangeable Iris, internal glass elements, rear filter) to express your own creativity.
When associated, the Optimo Ultra 12x and the Optimo Prime Series make a solid Full Frame global solution for all types of applications (High-end feature films, short films, commercials…).
