It is engineered for demanding professional productions that require native cinema design and uncompromising image quality.

Precision Engineering and Metadata Integration

Each lens in the Optimo Prime series features high-precision mechanics and a fast T1.8 aperture. The 40mm focal length provides a natural perspective for full-frame sensors, while integrated Cooke/i and LDS metadata support ensures that critical lens data is captured for post-production. The 320 degree focus rotation allows for extremely fine adjustments, moving beyond infinity to close focus with ease.

Unique User-Configurable Features

What sets the Optimo Prime series apart is its modularity. Cinematographers can customize the optical character of the lens through:

• Replaceable iris blade units for specific bokeh shapes and anamorphic effects.
• Internal glass optical elements to adjust MTF and contrast.
• Rear filter options for creative control without compromising the front element.

With a standardized 95mm front diameter and consistent colorimetry across the entire range, the Optimo Prime 40mm ensures seamless transitions and efficient workflows on any film set.
