Saint-Héand, France - Since its debut in 2010, sales of Thales Angenieux's 3D Ready Optimo DP Lens Package have grown at an increasing pace, helping to position Thales Angenieux as the premier manufacturer of digital cinema lenses.
The Optimo 3D Ready Package is available in two versions; the 16-42 Optimo DP lens package or the 30-80 Optimo DP lens package. Both packages come complete in a customized compact carrying case. In addition to superior optical quality and a reliable and precise mechanism, the Optimo 3D Ready Package includes specific features for 3D application like factory matched zoom and focus scale, comparable optical quality and easily adjustable tracking to assure flawless performance.
"From our engineers to our dedicated sales force, everyone at Angenieux is passionate about delivering a unique stereoscopic 3D production experience for the filmmaker and digital artist," said Dominique Rouchon-Picariello, Civilian Sales Department Director, Thales Angenieux.
