These are high end cinema lenses that cost the price of a vehicle, but they are excellent lenses. Here is what we know about the Angénieux Optimo Ultra Compact 37-102mm full frame cinema lens:
- New optical design
- Covers full frame
- Lightweight for its class (6lbs/2.6kg) and 235mm long
- 310 degrees focus throw
- PL mount
- Compatible with ARRI FF4 & FF5 Follow-Focus
- IRO ready
- Supports Cooke metadata
- T2.9 aperture
- Low distortion
- Very minimal focus breathing
- Optical design to balance contrast, resolution, and a pleasing, cinematic look
- Internal focus and zoom
- Estimated price of around $40,000 (we don’t know the actual price yet)
It’s nice to see more full frame cinema zoom lenses coming out. The 21-56mm, with its unusual focal length range, will be the next lens released in this series, to be released at a later date.
