The Optimo 30-72 is part of Angenieux’s lightweight anamorphic zoom range. These lenses are constructed with the anamorphic element located at the back of the lens. The result is a compact zoom with close focus and the classic Angenieux look.

For cinematographer Tom Bergmann, inspiration can come from anywhere, but especially from his world travels. As a documentary filmmaker and DP, he embraces his experiences as a still photographer and combines them with his narrative storytelling ability.

Angenieux has created three zoom lenses in their Optimo Anamorphic lineup: the 30-72, 56-152, and the 44-440. In this video, I take a closer look at the 44-440mm.

I had a chance to look over the new Angenieux Optimo Style 48-130mm lens, a hotly anticipated addition to the Optimo Style series. As a lens in the Style series, it is designed to complement the 16-40mm and 30-76mm zooms.

Today I met with Jean-Marc Bouchut to get the rundown on Angenieux’s new offerings showing at NAB 2017. Included is the compact and lightweight Optimo Style 48-130, available this fall, with a 44mm diameter image circle, T3 constant maximum aperture, and 3’1” close focus.

This year at NAB, we're featuring a number of Tech Talks at our booth, where manufacturers stop by to talk about their newest gear and technology. In this presentation from the first day of the show, Ian talks with Jean-Marc Bouchut from Angenieux about their new Optimo 44-440, as well as some of the history of the company.

The Angenieux 25-250 has been a staple of the movie industry since it's introduction in 1962. Now Angenieux has updated their original design and optimized it for digital cinema cameras. The new 25-250 DP Optimo features a telecentric design that reduces color fringing and focus breathing; additionally, it projects a 30.4mm image circle, easily covering a Super35-sized sensor.

This year at NAB, Angenieux debuted its first anamorphic lens - the Optimo Anamorphic 56-152mm 2S Zoom.
