Congratulations on the purchase of Angénieux Optimo Prime lenses and IOP tooling set. After 50 years almost fully dedicated to high-end zoom
lens design and production, Angénieux chose the Cannes Film Festival to announce a complete set of high-end Full Frame Prime lenses –the
Optimo Prime series, in partnership with Band Pro Film & Digital, Inc and Jebsen Industrial Technology Co LTD.
The Optimo Prime series of 12 lenses provides full frame 46.3mm image circle coverage with a consistent 1.8 T-stop for most of the lenses. To
match with the legacy Optimo zooms, all Optimo Primes have identical colorimetry. Available with PL mount the Optimo Primes are the perfect
companion for your digital camera. They can also be configured with LPL mount as an option.
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that Optimo Prime lenses won’t fit on a camera with a reflex view finder.
All lenses support Cooke/i and are ARRI LDS2 ready; and offer a common gear size and position for all lenses in the 12-lens set.
The Optimo Prime series is composed of a total of 12 focal lengths with 18mm, 21mm, 24mm, 28mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 75mm,
100mm, 135mm and 200mm.
Last but not least we allow you to go further than the standard Optimo Prime configuration to serve your creativity by using our unique Integrated
Optical Palette (IOP) technology. This includes three methods to achieve your own personalized look with iris blade unit for different bokeh
(including anamorphic effect), internal optical element and rear optical filter.
This user manual describes the different configurations and uses of your Optimo Prime IOP tooling set. If you need additional information don’t
hesitate to contact us at angenieuxserv[email protected]lesgroup.com. Additional product documentation is available on the Angénieux website at the
service and support page: https://www.angenieux.com/service-and-support/.

CAUTION
Always follow these guidelines to ensure against injury to yourself or others and damage to the system or other objects.
This safety information comes in addition to the product specific operating instructions in general and must be strictly observed
for safety reasons.
Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before you operate or install the lens.
Do not use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by Angénieux, as they may cause hazards and invalidate
the warranty.
Do not attempt to repair any part of the system! Repairs must only be carried out by authorized Angénieux Service Centers.
Do always use a clean area to open any Optimo Prime lenses to prevent from dust pollution.
Do always perform IOP elements swapping using only the IOP spanners.
WARNINGS
Handle any lens with care.
Do not expose lens to water or moisture.
Do not subject the lens to shocks.
Never insert objects of any kind into any part of the lens if these are not clearly qualified for the task in the manual.
Do not remove screws locked by varnish.
Changing camera lenses should be done in a dry and dust-free environment. If this is not possible, take extra care that no dust
enters the camera while the lens is off.
Keep the protective caps on the lens when not set on camera or not in operation.
Follow the cleaning instructions in this manual to avoid damage of the lens.
Do not look at high intensity light directly through any lens.

STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store any lens in a dry place where the temperature does not exceed –40°C and +70°C (- 40°F and + 158°F).
Do not store the lens in places where it may be subject to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, severe vibration,
or strong magnetic fields.
Condensation: When moving the lens from a cold to a warm location or when the lens is used in a damp environment,
condensation may appear on glass surfaces and on internal or external electrical connections. Operating the lenses while
condensation is present may result in damage to the equipment. Condensation on the optical components may have a visible
effect on the output images. To prevent condensation, store the lens in a dry area. If the lens is in a humid area, dry it and
store it a plastic bag with desiccant before using it. After moving the lens from cold to warm and humid environment, wait for
some time for the lens to warm up to the ambient temperature to avoid condensation.
TEMPERATURE OF OPERATION
Any lens is designed to be used between - 20°C and + 45°C (- 4°F and + 113°F).
The opto-mechanical design is passively athermalized. It allows Optimo Primes to prevent from a back focus shift with
temperature changes.
RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENT
Optimo Prime series and IOP tooling set are free of chemical substances covered by European Regulation REACH in excess
of the thresholds set out. Follow the guidance sets up by your local authority for recycling the Optimo Prime lenses or the IOP
tooling set.

ADDITIONAL TOOLS
In addition to your IOP tooling set you will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the front ring, front engraved ring and front optical group holding
screws. As an example we are using in factory the Phillips screwdriver VESSEL 9900 P.00-75. You will need also a pair of tweezers to pick
accurately the screws you are removing to prevent from any damage or screw drop.
CAUTION: as you are opening the product, this operation must be done with cautious in a clean and dry environment to prevent dust or particles
pollution inside the lens. We advise you to wear adapted gloves to leave no traces on the optical elements and mechanics.
CAUTION: when you are removing the screws holding the front ring or the front group, be cautious to secure the screws removing using a pair of
tweezers to prevent from any drop or damage. Remove with cautious the retainers using the hands and a pair of tweezers to prevent from any
drop or damage.
CAUTION: before removing a ring, a retainer or an element, do always check the thread or element cleanliness. If necessary, clean the thread
or mechanical element blowing dry air or using a soft brush. For optical elements, blow dry air and do always use a soft optical cloth and an
isopropyl alcohol liquid starting with the center and cleaning by turning outwards.
CAUTION: when putting back the focus or front group, we recommend blowing dry air onto the two side lenses of the optical sub-assembly. Do
not do this above the opened Optimo Prime lens to prevent from dust pollution. In case you need to clean a lens, do always use a soft optical
cloth and an isopropyl alcohol liquid starting with the center and cleaning by turning outwards.
CAUTION: when putting back a retainer or a threadedfront ring, check thethread cleanliness and clean the thread or mechanical element blowing
dry air and using a soft brush. Do not do this above the opened Optimo Prime lens to prevent from dust pollution. To be sure the thread fits
perfectly, rotate the part you are putting back anti-clockwise with the hands or a pair of tweezers so it falls in the correct thread position before
tightening it. Do not apply any strong torque and check if the element is rotating easily before tightening clockwise. You may put in the thread a
very small amount of mechanical grease all around if you note some mechanical friction.
5 –IOP element swap

16
CAUTION: be cautious to handle all the elements you are removing or putting back with a maximum care. Do always respect the pin orientation
on the elements you are putting back when there is one.
CAUTION: never use strong torque to tighten or untighten an element with any spanner. If you apply too much torque the spanner pins may
break. If so this is not normal and either you applied too much torque than necessary or your lens may have been damaged or modified by
someone. You have extra pins for replacement in those cases but we recommend contacting your local reseller or our service team at
[e-mail].
IMPORTANT: do always use the dedicated Angenieux IOP spanners provided in the IOP tooling set and never use excessive torque to tighten
the retainers, rings or screws. In case you require assistance or have any doubt doing an IOP element swapping and before damaging something,
please contact your local reseller or our service team at angenieux[email protected]m.

STEP 1: REMOVE THE FRONT RING
THE BELOW PROCEDURE APPLIES FOR F18, F21, F24, F28:
0 - Remove the front cap.
1 - Untighten the front ring screws with an adapted size Phillips screwdriver.
2 - Remove one by one each screws with cautious and securely using a pair of tweezers.
3 - Remove the front ring with the hands or a pair of tweezers.
TIP: after removing the screws you can also take off the front ring by maintaining it and flipping the Optimo Prime upside down and catch the front
ring with the hands. Do not hold the lens by the rear cap.

THE BELOW PROCEDURE APPLIES FOR F32, F40, F50, F60, F75, F100, F135:
0 - Remove the front cap.
1 - Put in position the front ring spanner 66067078AA by rotating it left or right so the two pins fit perfectly with the front ring holes.
2 - Untighten the front ring with the front ring spanner.
3 - Remove the spanner.
4 - Remove the front ring with the hands or a pair of tweezers.
TIP: if the front ring is not totally untightened you can finish untightening it with the hands or a pair of tweezers. You can also take off the front
ring by flipping the Optimo Prime upside down and catch the front ring with the hands. Do not hold the lens by the rear cap.

STEP 2: REMOVE THE FRONT ENGRAVED RING
This step is mandatory for F18, F135, F200.
IMPORTANT: even if for the rest of the Optimo Prime series this step is not mandatory, the front group and front group screws access is easier
when the front engraved ring is removed. See below the two pictures on the right showing the front group screws accessibility differences. We
recommend removing the front engraved ring systematically to reduce risks of screw drop and secure the front group repositioning.
The below procedure applies for all Optimo Primes. Only the number of screws varies. Screws are silver Phillips type.
1 - Untighten the front engraved ring screws with an adapted size Phillipps screwdriver and remove them one by one with cautious and securely
using a pair of tweezers.
2 - Pull out straightly the front engraved ring.

STEP 3: REMOVE THE FRONT GROUP
THE BELOW PROCEDURE APPLIES FOR F24, F28, F32, F40, F50, F60, F75, F100
1 - Untighten and remove the front group screws one by one with cautious and securely using a pair of tweezers. Screws are black Phillips type.
2 - Put in position the front group spanner 66067102AA and rotate it anti-clockwise so it falls in the correct thread position.
3 - Tighten the front group spanner up to the end-stop. Do not apply more torque after you reached the end-stop.
4 - Pull straightly the front group. As there is an o-ring around the front group mechanics you need to pull with enough force.
5 - Put in a secure area the front group with the spanner on onto the front group holder 66067062AA.
