Angenieux Optimo DP 30-80mm T2.8

The Angenieux Optimo DP 30-80mm T2.8 is a Super 35 cine zoom in PL mount with a constant T2.8 aperture. It is a compact, lightweight zoom that suits everyday narrative and commercial work.

The lens offers a useful standard-to-short-telephoto range with sharp, clean images and low distortion. The precise focus markings and smooth focus control suit professional focus pullers, and the 114mm front diameter matches other Optimo lenses, so matte boxes carry across.

It covers 30 to 80mm, a 2.7x zoom, at a constant T2.8. It weighs about 1.9kg, is around 186mm long and focuses as close as 2 feet. The mount is PL, with Super 35 coverage. It works well alongside the Optimo 15-40mm T2.6 and 45-120mm T2.8, and is a flexible choice for handheld and tripod work. It suits narrative and commercial work.
