Angénieux 18mm Optimo Prime F
The Optimo Prime 18mm T2 Lens from Angenieux is a PL-mount lens that features a fast T2 maximum aperture, a replaceable iris blade unit, 320° focus rotation, and user-configurable bokeh. It shares a matching color profile with the entire Optimo range including the Optimo zoom lenses. Each lens in the series also features nonlinear zoom and iris, internal glass optical elements, and a rear filter option. All the Optimo Prime lenses have a 95mm front diameter (except the 200mm), making it easy to swap lenses without changing your focus motor or matte box setups.
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, the Optimo Prime Series is the result of decades of proven experience and know-how in high precision optics and mechanics. Each lens in the 12 piece 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. Based on cinematographer feedback, the series provides meta data (Cooke-I, LDS) and unique user-features such as replaceable iris blade unit, internal glass optical element and rear filter. Three types of sets are available for sale depending on budget and applications: Platinum set with 12 lenses (18,21,24,28,32,40,50,60,75,100,135 and 200 mm), Gold set with 9 lenses (18,21,28,32,40,50,75,100 and 135 mm) and Silver set with 6 lenses (21,28,40,50,75 and 135mm)
