The Optimo 17-80mm is a modern work-horse and remains one of the best-made zooms on the market. The 17-80mm Optimo gets regular use on high-end features, episodics, and commercials. It offers a refined optical design with excellent levels of performance across its entire zoom range, eliminating breathing and ramping and yielding contrast and color reproduction that rivals the highest performing prime lenses. It is extremely fast at a T2.2 so is often used in narrative work alongside high-speed primes. Its close focus of 2' make it very popular for table top work. With a simple expander, the lens will cover Arri Open Gate and Red Weapon 6K, making it an approx. 21-95mm zoom.
