New Angénieux lenses at IBC 2017

Following up the Angénieux Type EZ Series for S35 and larger image formats recently unveiled at IBC 2016, Angénieux is now announcing a new multi format 12x Optimo zoom lens for the high-end production market. Successor model to the industry reference Optimo 24-290 (and 28-340), the Optimo Ultra 12x is the ideal long-range zoom for high-end productions, including feature films, TV series, live stage, commercials, and music videos.

The lens features a totally new optical and mechanical design, offering high optical performance -- superb image quality, no ramping, minimal breathing, very short MOD -- and improved mechanical stability and serviceability. The Optimo Ultra 12x comes with the standard PL mount lens, and has a sub-mount system in order to be equipped with various mount options. Optically, users will appreciate its superb image quality along the full focal length range, minimal breathing and low distortion and its very close focus. Mechanically, the lens features precise and ergonomic focus ring with ability to swap easily the focus scale ring from meters to feet. It is designed for extreme shooting conditions with a better sealed optical area than its predecessor reducing dust inhale, and increasing a temperature range from -20 to +40°C. Thanks to the IRO (Interchangeable Rear Optics) technology the lens can be configured to cover three different formats: S35 (Ø31.1mm image circle), U35 (Ø34.6mm image circle) and FF/VV(Ø46.3mm image circle). It will be the perfect zoom lens for the new generations of high-end digital cameras!

Two packages will be available:
Standard Optimo Ultra 12x Package: Zoom S35 + U35 Kit
Full Optimo Ultra 12x Package: Zoom S35 + U35 Kit + FF/VV Kit

Also available a specially designed Carrying Handle and a Front Protective Glass. Optimo Extenders 1.4X and 2X can also fit the Optimo Ultra 12x.
