Angenieux Optimo Rouge 30-80

[Mark L. Pederson]

Managed to get my hands on one of the three protos of the new Angenieux Optimo Rouge 30-80mm for 24 hours - taking it out on a shoot with us tomorrow for some side-by-sides - hopefully post frames this weekend -

mechanics on this lens are super impressive - T2.8 - 4.2 lbs - 114mm front diam. - S35 Full 31.1 mm diag - MOD 2' - I was told initial orders start to ship within a few weeks - they are obviously back-ordered - ours are slated for Jan. delivery -

It looks pretty. Looking forward to the images.

 

[Chris Armstrong]

Nice looking lens (Though the red rings looks a little to pink to me).

I'd love to see how this lens compares to the RED 18-85 as well as Angenieux's 28-76.

Thanks Mark, looks like we will stick to the RED 18-85...

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

Thanks Mark, looks like we will stick to the RED 18-85...

RED PRO 18-85 is fantastic - but you won't fly it on a steadicam. $20K for this lens is cheap IMO.

And with those red rings, any AC who mistakenly puts it on a film camera and ruins the mirror shutter will have no excuse!
Mark, report back after the job, please.
Cheers,
Harry

This lens can only be used on cameras without a shutter, correct?

Looking forward to your review Mark...

correct.

I have wondered about the specs on this lens. Seems like an odd choice
of focal lengths doesn't it? Is this just a rework for digital of an existing lens?

 

[Evin Grant]

probably the 28-76 which is over twice as much. There is also a 16-45mm coming. With any luck we might see a 10-1 Rouge too (This is not a rumor just a wish).

 

[Benjamin Rowland]

Mark,

Looking forward to some stills from this lens. Any word on when the other Rouge is coming?

Thanks.
