Angenieux Optimo Prime 18mm / T2.0 Meter Scale

Legendary Angenieux Aesthetics in a Prime Lens

The Angenieux Optimo Prime 18mm T2.0 represents the pinnacle of high-end cinema glass, drawing on 70 years of optical expertise. Designed to provide a perfect match for the industry-standard Optimo Ultra 12X zoom, this 18mm prime delivers the iconic Angenieux look in a compact, full-frame format. It is engineered for demanding productions that require native cinema design without compromise.

Modular Customization and Creative Control

What sets the Optimo Prime series apart is its unique modularity. Cinematographers can utilize a replaceable iris blade unit to customize bokeh, including anamorphic-style effects. The lens also supports internal glass optical elements and rear filters, allowing for precise control over MTF, CCI, and overall optical properties to suit the specific needs of any project.

Professional Cinema Mechanics

Built with the same precision as the legendary Optimo zoom range, the 18mm T2.0 features non-linear iris and focus mechanics. The 320 degree focus rotation angle provides ample space for precise adjustments, while the ability to go beyond infinity and maintain close focus ensures maximum versatility on set. Metadata support via Cooke/i and LDS ensures all lens data is captured for streamlined post-production workflows.
