Angénieux Present Latest Innovations

Angénieux is presenting its latest innovations at this year's Cine Gear Expo.

The Optimo Style 48-130 T3 is the third lightweight compact zoom lens in the Angénieux Optimo Style line, joining the Optimo Style 16-40 T2.8 and 30-76 T2.8, the lightweight compact zooms, and the 10x Optimo Style 25-250 T3.5.

The Optimo Style 48-130 is the longest zoom in the lightweight series, weighing 4.3lb/1.95kg and has a Close Focus at 3'1"/0.94m. It is ideal for close-ups, portraits or tight shots, either handheld, Steadicam, remote heads, gimbals, rigs, or drones.

The lens features 320 degree rotation of the focus barrel, and industry standard 0.8M gears on the focus, iris and zoom barrels. The Optimo Style 48-130 also has an interchangeable PL mount to Canon EF or Panavision PV mount and can be used with the Angénieux Servo Unit (ASU) with integrated motors for remote control with industry standard wireless and broadcast control systems. It also can be fitted with the Angénieux 1.4x and 2x Optimo extenders.

The lens will be available on the market Q4, 2017.

In addition to the above, two new accessories for the Optimo A2S Anamorphic Zoom Lens line are on show at Cine Gear Expo 2017. The two short zooms – Optimo 56-152A2S and 30-72A2S – can be equipped with an uncoated front element which offers a softer contrast image with additional flares around highlights, whereas the 10x Optimo 44-440A2S can be fitted with a special coated rear element that enhances blue flare. Both accessories can be bought separately and installed (or removed) by lens technicians without affecting the basic image characteristics such as well controlled breathing and distortion. These accessories will be available in September 2017.
