The Optimo Ultra Compact 21-56mm Zoom Lens Full Pack from Angenieux pairs the PL-mount 21 to 56mm zoom lens with both the U35/OG (Ultra 35/Open Gate) and FF/VV (full-frame/VistaVision) IRO (interchangeable rear optics), providing compatibility with a wide range of cine-style cameras. This lens features consistent image quality across focal ranges and distances and boasts a fast maximum aperture of T2.2 in U35 and T2.9 in FF/VV. Its look is consistent with the resolution and balanced contrast found across the Angenieux Optimo series.
This truly compact and durable zoom provides a 21-56mm focal range in FF/VV and a 16-42mm range in U35/OG. It transmits Cook/i metadata and its focus barrel rotation of 310° enables precise focus pulls.
