TRIBE7 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.
TRIBE7, founded by cinematographer Bradford Young, ASC and lens designer Neil Fanthom, has become one of the most innovative names in modern cinema optics. Their flagship BLACKWING7 primes are full-frame lenses that give filmmakers unprecedented creative control through customizable tuning options—Standard, T-tuned (for increased flares and softness), and X-tuned (for bold, expressive character). Beyond their core design, TRIBE7 introduced interchangeable SKIN front elements, such as the red-tinted SKIN 2000 and amber-gold SKIN 3000, which further expand artistic possibilities with distinctive flare and tonal qualities. BLACKWING7 lenses are known for balancing modern optical performance with vintage-inspired personality, offering cinematographers tools that are as much about creative expression as technical precision. With their philosophy of “aesthetic engineering,” TRIBE7 has established itself as a forward-thinking brand redefining the role of lenses in cinematic storytelling.
