Aligned Optics was founded in 2025 to provide the motion picture industry with a dependable, transparent, and expert-driven solution for cine lens repairs, modifications, and servicing. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, founder Mike Hibarger built the company around a simple philosophy: quality over quantity, honest communication, and fast turnaround times.

In an industry with limited options for high-quality lens service, Aligned Optics stands apart through deep optical expertise, fair pricing, and a commitment to building lasting relationships with cinematographers.

Our vision is to grow into a global facility that filmmakers can rely on for precise, trustworthy optical work. Because to us, without optics, there’s no shot.
