The Angenieux WA 0.75 Wide Angle Adapter is designed specifically for Optimo Prime lenses (Optimo Prime 18mm and 21mm only), providing cinematographers and filmmakers with a simple yet powerful way to expand their creative possibilities. By reducing the focal length by a factor of 0.75, the adapter widens the field of view without any loss of T-stop, ensuring consistent exposure while capturing more immersive shots.
When mounted on Optimo Prime 18mm and 21mm lenses, the WA 0.75 Adapter transforms the 18mm into a 13.5mm and the 21mm into a 15.7mm, allowing filmmakers to explore new perspectives and elegant distortion effects. Its optical design preserves image sharpness from 2m (6’6”) to infinity, maintaining Angenieux’s renowned cinematic quality while adding a subtle creative twist.
Engineered with high-quality optical glass, the adapter weighs only 450g, making it easy to integrate into professional workflows without adding unnecessary bulk. The WA 0.75 Adapter opens a new world of visual storytelling, enabling directors of photography to push the boundaries of composition, create dramatic wide-angle shots, and experiment with creative distortion effects, all while keeping focus and exposure consistent.
For any production using Optimo Prime lenses, the Angenieux WA 0.75 Adapter becomes an indispensable accessory for achieving wider shots and distinctive cinematic visuals. Its lightweight, durable construction and precise optical design make it a reliable choice for on-set and location shooting alike.
