The new Optimo 44-440 A2S completes the set of Angénieux anamorphic zooms, extending the range from 30 to 440 mm with 3 lenses. The lens mount can be quickly swapped between PL and Panavision mounts and the focus scale is easily interchangeable from feet to meters. It can be used wide open without loss of quality. The aperture is T4.5 across the entire zoom range.

There’s almost no geometric distortion or chromatic aberration. The Optimo 44-440 A2S zoom lens has a dedicated rear group with cylinders and spherical elements that provide a 2x horizontal squeeze with high optical performance, minimal distortion and negligible breathing. The other members of the family are the Optimo 56-152 A2S T4 and the Optimo 30-72 A2S T4. This is the 3rd A2S anamorphic zoom from Angénieux.

Here’s a new lens: the Angénieux Optimo 44-440 A2S T4.5 long range anamorphic zoom, to be shown at NAB.
