The Optimo 19.5 to 94mm Spherical Wide-Angle Zoom Lens from Angenieux is a fast zoom with a PL mount for Super35-sized sensors. This version of the lens ships with a PL mount, it features a T2.6 aperture, 136mm front diameter, and 4.7x zoom ratio, and it focuses down to 2' in front of the image plane. The lens has internal focus and zoom, so there is no change in size during adjustment and very little breathing. The lens features independent focus, iris, and zoom control rings with cinema standard gear teeth.
Losing only 1/10 of a stop within the lens, the Optimo is extremely efficient. The fast T2.6 maximum aperture in Super35 matches the maximum aperture of many standard prime lenses for Super35. This allows you to light to a lower illumination level than would normally be required for many zooms, making for more consistent images as you may not have to relight the scene as is often the case when moving from primes to slower zoom lenses.
Manual Lens Control Rings
Featuring independent manual control rings for focus, iris, and zoom. Each control ring incorporates industry-standard 0.8 lens gear teeth.
136mm Front Diameter

Temperature Stability
The Optimo lenses are designed and built to compensate for temperature drifts, which helps reduce the need to re-collimate the lens.
