Angenieux Optimo Anamorphic

Based on the optical design of the 2012 SOC and 2009 Academy of Motion Picture award winning Optimo 28-76mm and 15-40mm zoom lenses, the optical design of the Optimo A2S lenses weaves in cylindrical and spherical optical elements in the rear group in order to achieve a 2x squeeze of the image on the horizontal axis.This unique design technique yields significantly superior optical performance (exceptional sharpness and lower distortion) over spherical lenses that are adapted for cinemascope production with rear anamorphic attachment. Additionally, the design allows the two zoom lenses to remain extremely compact and light weight.
