Thales Angenieux’s highly anticipated new Optimo DP (digital production) Series Lens—nicknamed “Rouge”—is set for delivery in the fourth quarter, according to the company. Some DPs say it can’t arrive soon enough.
Designed for large-format digital cameras such as the Genesis, Red One, and Sony F23/35, the lens offers high levels of performance and cost-efficiency. Angenieux said it incorporates the next generation of optics for high-definition imaging devices.
The Optimo lens offers a focal length of 30-80mm, fast aperture of T:2.8, calibrated focus marks and no ramping or breathing. The lightweight (4.2 pounds) PL mount lens also features a unique mechanical design for precise zoom and focus.
In addition to the Optimo Series, Thales Angenieux markets its HD Series cine-style, wide angle and studio lenses; High Resolution (HR) Series wide angle and all-purpose ENG lenses (such as the economically priced HD-e series); and Studio and Sports/Outside Broadcast (OB) lenses.
