ib/e CINEMA LENSES
The Angénieux brand has defined cinematic zoom lenses since its founding by Pierre Angénieux in Saint-Héand, France in 1935. A pioneer in optical design, the company revolutionized filmmaking in 1956 with the first modern 10x zoom, the 25–250mm, establishing a legacy of innovation that continues today. Angénieux lenses have earned multiple Academy Awards and are celebrated for their organic rendering, smooth mechanics, and versatility on set. Building on this heritage, Angénieux now offers a complete ecosystem of premium optics, from the Optimo Ultra 12x and Type EZ series to the celebrated Optimo Anamorphic zooms and the Optimo Prime series—their first entry into high-end primes, designed to complement the iconic zooms with a unified look. Blending tradition with cutting-edge design, Angénieux remains one of the most trusted names in cinema optics.

Both lines embody IB/E’s philosophy of combining optical innovation with rugged, production-ready engineering. By providing solutions that extend beyond standard lens capabilities, IB/E has become a trusted partner for cinematographers and rental houses seeking specialty optics with uncompromising performance.
