Summary
The Angénieux Optimo Anamorphic 30-72mm T4.0 A2S is a professional wide-angle anamorphic zoom lens designed for motion picture production. Announced at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in September 2014, it was the second lens released in Angénieux's compact anamorphic zoom series, complementing the longer Optimo Anamorphic 56-152mm A2S. Praised for its exceptional optical performance, the lens maintains the classic Angénieux look, characterized by high contrast and resolution, with a desirable anamorphic flare and bokeh. Its lightweight and compact design make it highly versatile and suitable for a range of modern cinematography applications, including handheld, Steadicam, and gimbal work.
