All calibrations are up-to-date!👨‍💻 🎥 @angenieuxlenses All Images shot with Angenieux Optimo 50mm on Sony A7Sii.

Angenieux Optimo Primes have a smooth focus roll-off, excellent flare control and the distinctive Angenieux look.

These lenses cover large format with a consistent T1.6 and great close focus across the range.

They are customizable through a choice of selectable iris cassette with the options of 3, 9 blades or oval shape to replicate an anamorphic bokeh on highlight. The later results in a small light loss (4/5th of a stop.) A clear glass behind the focus group may be treated with a coat of hairspray to mimic a vintage look, or covered with pieces of translucent material to degrade parts of the picture or even cut in half. Another option is to glue a fishing line across and when position vertically across the frame creating a flare horizontally across the frame which can become a vivid blue depending on the quality of the LED source. There is also a rear mounted filter behind the mount to create a rear filtration, mount a net, or control the contrast after the image has been formed.
