Angenieux Optimo Primes – Integrated Optical Palette (IOP)
IOP (INTEGRATED OPTICAL PALETTE)
By positioning an IOP Filter inside of Optimo Primes, light makes contact with internal optical elements, creating images and effects that are not possible with front or rear filters. This flexibility allows Cinematographers to create a custom look that is unique to them.

"I Tested Full Frame Lenses From 7 Manufacturers"
"I recently shot Angenieux Optimo Primes with IOP on Daisy Jones and the Six for Amazon. For this particular job I tested full frame lenses from 7 different manufacturers. We were trying to achieve a specific look that was pristine, beautiful, and that would envelope the characters. From these tests we fell in love with Optimo Primes. They are beautifully crafted like all Angenieux lenses. The focus fall off and bokeh are unique."
"It Was Like Seeing Light Through A Glass Of Champagne"
"We decided to use a Glimmerglass 1/8 IOP Filter. With this, it was like seeing the light through a glass
of champagne. For some scenes we added netting in the back of the lens in lieu of rear filtration. This created a
timeless glow in the highlights.
I will be using these lenses again on an upcoming NBC pilot shooting later this month."
