Overview
The Angenieux Optimo Ultra Compact 37-102mm Zoom T2.9 - PL Mount is a second generation Optimo lightweight zoom. Optimo Ultra Compact lenses are worthy successors to the Academy Award-winning Optimo 15-40mm and 28-76mm zooms, which have been the faithful companions of Directors of Photography for more than 15 years.
Ultra Compact zooms are specifically designed for the FF/VV format, and are among the lightest on the market. These lenses are the perfect addition to the Angénieux high-end Full Frame collection, which already included the Optimo Ultra 12X and the Optimo Prime Series. Ultra Compact zooms feature attractive ergonomics, exceptional Optimo optical quality (and the Angénieux look), and high-precision mechanical design.
