Otto Nemenz, the Austrian cinematographer and camera operator whose namesake company designed and supplied cutting-edge cameras and lenses to film and television productions for more than four decades, has died. He was 83.

Nemenz died Saturday at his Kaanapali home on the Hawaiian island of Maui, a spokesperson for Otto Nemenz International told The Hollywood Reporter .

Nemenz founded his company in 1979 in a small storefront off Sunset Boulevard, and by 1982, he had built a new Hollywood headquarters on Vine Street. In 2020, he celebrated the grand opening of a 38,000-square-foot facility in Culver City. (The company also has an office in Atlanta.)
