Angénieux Optimo Zooms<br />
The Optimo DP 16-42 mm T2.8 lightweight zoom has an image<br />
diagonal of 32mm (Red Epic). There are about 20 focus marks.<br />
With the Wide Angle Adapter WA 0.75x, it becomes a 12.2 mm<br />
at the wide end.<br />
The Optimo DP 30-80 T2.8 also covers a 32mm image diagonal,<br />
weighs 1.9kg/4.2lbs.<br />
1.4x and 2x extenders are available for the 24-290 and 17-80<br />
Optimo zooms. The Optimo 24-290 mm with 2x extender<br />
becomes a very sharp 49-540 mm T5.6 zoom.<br />
Angénieux is working on new version of the 1.4x and 2x extenders<br />
that will be compatible with the entire Optimo line: 24-290, 17-<br />
80, 15-40, 28-76. DSLR mounts are also available for the Optimo<br />
24-290, 28-76, and 15-40.<br />
Angénieux showed their /i Data encoder, an add-on unit to send<br />
/i metadata to cameras, monitors, 3D rigs and post tools.<br />
The new WA 0.75X Wide Angle Adapter attaches to the front<br />
of the Optimo 15-40mm and Optimo DP 16-42mm Zooms. It<br />
renders a fisheye effect at the wide end. It’s not recommended<br />
to be used at focal lengths other than wide (Optimo 15-40 mm<br />
becomes 11.4 mm and Optimo DP 16-42 mm becomes 12.2mm).<br />
Set the focus to minimum. The hyperfocal distance is 2 meters.<br />
The adapter weighs 1 lb/ 450 g.<br />
Angénieux Optimo Bleu on ARRI Alexa<br />
Four fashionable models for hand-holding: Linda Carriel, Jean-Marc Bouchut,<br />
Alexa and Angénieux Optimo DP Rouge…er…Bleu. We’ve tested and<br />
confirmed that Optimo DP Rouge zooms are sharp, balance well and fit on ARRI<br />
Alexa and Alexa Plus. The rear element of the lightweight Optimo DP 16-42 mm<br />
T2.8 protrudes 27 mm, and the 30-80 mm T2.8 protrudes 31 mm from the PL<br />
flange. This distance is well in front of the cover glass / low-pass filter pack of<br />
current Alexa, Red, Sony F35 and 9000PL cameras—which do not, of course,<br />
have spinning mirror shutters. But, always check clearance before inserting.<br />
Remember, however, that ARRI’s third intended Alexa sibling should have a<br />
spinning mirror shutter, which will require Angénieux film-style zooms: Optimo<br />
15-40mm T2.6 and 28-76 mm T2.6. The rear elements on those lenses do<br />
not protrude, and can even be used directly on Canon HDSLR cameras with a<br />
PL-to-Canon adapter or Angénieux neutral-to-Canon mount.<br />
You can proclaim your camera allegiance with Angénieux Optimo DP interchangeable<br />
red, blue, or black rubber barrel rings.<br />
