Congratulations on the purchase of Angénieux Optimo Prime lenses. After 50 years almost fully dedicated to high-end zoom lens design and 

production, Angénieux chose the Cannes Film Festival to announce a complete set of high-end Full Frame Prime lenses 

– the Optimo Prime 

series, in partnership with Band Pro Film & Digital, Inc and Jebsen Industrial Technology Co LTD. 

 

The Optimo Prime series of 12 lenses provides full frame 46.3mm image circle coverage with a consistent 1.8 T-stop for most of the lenses. To 

match with the legacy Optimo zooms, all Optimo Primes have identical colorimetry. Available with PL mount the Optimo Primes are the perfect 

companion for your digital camera. They can also be configured with LPL mount as an option. 

IMPORTANT:

 

Please be aware that Optimo Prime lenses won’t fit on a camera with a reflex view finder. 

All lenses support Cooke/i and are ARRI LDS2 ready; and offer a common gear size and position for all lenses in the 12-lens set. 

 

The Optimo Prime  series is composed of a total of 12 focal lengths with 18mm, 21mm, 24mm, 28mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 75mm, 

100mm, 135mm and 200mm. 

 

Last  but  not  least  we  allow  you  to  go  further  than  the  standard  Optimo  Prime  configuration  to  serve  your  creativity  by  using  our  unique 

Integrated Optical Palette (IOP) technology. This includes three methods to achieve your own personalized look with iris blade unit for different 

bokeh (including anamorphic effect), internal optical element and rear optical filter. 

 

This user manual describes the different configurations and uses of your Optimo Prime series. If you need additional information 

don’t hesitate

Additional product documentation is available on the Angénieux website at the service
