First test shots: G1 with Angenieux lenses 15, 25, 50mm...

Hello!
Last week, I visited a "old" family's friend who want to sell his Angenieux C mount collection (11 lenses in total and two Bell&Howell camera's!!!!). I will try to sell it for him because he is a little bit too old for that and doesn't have even Internet! As for "present", I could keep one (or two!) lens for myself, quite a good deal for me I think Very Happy

.....
Anyway, here are my first quick shots with this "famous" Angenieux lenses on my G1 (click on the pictures for a better resolution Wink

)....

1/Angenieux 15mm f/1.3 type R41 @ f1.3 (due to a lot vignetting, it's not realy usefull with the G1 so just for the fun! ):

2/Angenieux 25mm f/0.95 type M1 (also quite a lot vignetting)
first two samples @ 0,95 and third one @ f/2:

3/Angenieux 50mm f/1.5 type S5, all shots wide open except last one @ f5.6 or f/8! (also a little bit vignetting but can be removed easily with PP):

I must say that it was almost my first shots with the G1 and it was also a very cold and cloudy day, so may be not the best samples you have seen with this combo Confused

.....
I found the 50mm really impressive (more than the 25mm on my test), very sharp wide open and I find the bokeh very pleasant and "creamy"...
Some test shots with the 2.5/75mm will follows later, I don't want to borrow you to much for the first time !!!!!

Thanks for looking and any comments are welcome Wink

A �4/3 cam and these old lenses must really be fun!

Very nice pictures. I dont mind about vigneting, not too much with this camera, it gives some character to the shots.

Any idea what these lenses would produce on an APS-C (I dont want to buy a GF1 right now Wink

)?

Regards,
Xavier

superb samples!
as for the G1, it is still a first generation sensor way behind canikon level
body pass, lens stay; m4:3 sensor will get better

I was afraid you were going to like the 50mm Wink

That was the one I have been looking for and had almost doubted it existed... Thanks for the pictures, very nice to see the whole family and some examples shot with them. BTW, are the 25mm ones all M1s?

Pich900, I also thought I had found a 50mm, but it turned out the phone connection was bad, they sent me a 15mm and are out of the 50s... Sad

Let me know if/when you sell it Smile

BTW, did you get my PMs? My PC does strange things today...

Hey Pascal, nice results! Did you get the Angenieux lenses serviced and where? I'm sorry I could not help you out..

See you at the Houten fair later this month!

Just adding a few from the 25/0.95 Angenieux. I need to use this one more, in 1:1 format it really gives great results IMHO. This was at f2 IIRC. These show daughter, father - and the little brother...

Father and little brother are two peas in a pod! Shocked

(in Italy we say "are like two drops of water")
The lens seems very good, congratulations.
