Angénieux Optimo 12x 24-90mm Zoom

The Angénieux Optimo 24–290mm T2.8 (12x) S35 Zoom is one of the most widely used cinema zooms in high-end production, known for its combination of range, speed, and classic Angénieux rendering. Covering Super 35 with a constant T2.8 aperture through the entire 24–290mm range, it delivers smooth contrast, gentle highlight roll-off, and a cinematic, organic texture that has made it a long-standing industry standard for narrative and commercial work. The lens is parfocal, exhibits minimal breathing, and maintains consistent sharpness and color throughout the zoom, making it ideal when a single lens must cover a wide range of setups without optical compromise. Distinct from the newer Optimo Ultra 12x series, this original 24–290mm is prized for its proven look and dependable mechanics on set. Available to rent or sub-rent from Cine Visuals.
