Angenieux Optimo 24-290mm

The Angenieux Optimo 24-290mm is a 12x cinema zoom lens introduced in 2001, featuring a constant T2.8 aperture with no ramping across the full zoom range. It uses an internal focus design that maintains constant length and minimizes focus breathing, with Super 35 image coverage and a PL mount. Replaced by the Optimo Ultra 24-290mm.
