I've only got an Ixus 870 for testing Laughing Maybe of use for low light shots.....18-180mm 1: 2.2 and very heavy.

Wow, what a chunk of glas,
what's the weight of this monster? Do you have some examples?
Cheers,
Timo

It will be from the 1950s I think, French equivalent of the TTH Ortals. Probably intended for a 1-inch plumbicon/vidicon type tube camera so the image circle might only be big enough for a M4/3 sensor. Resolution might not be very high either as TV was only 400 lines resolution then.

Lol, this looks like an uncle of Photosniper Tair-3, even if it resolves only 400 lines, it's good for self-defense for sure.

Damn that's a waste of a £1.....and not worth trying to buy step down rings to M42. Crying or Very sad

If I can help you to recover your money, I pay you more than 1£ to get yours... Laughing

I'm in love of this French brand.

Maybe I should sell it here, as some members like playing around with these sort of lenses with digital cameras Wink but how do you post something like this as it's so heavy (a wooden crate?).....and with 15 bids on the bay for one, I'm wondering what they would use it for Rolling Eyes

Angineux is known for their cinelenses, I guess people want that look, and it would best if they can get it cheap Wink
cheers

Seriously, this kind of cine lens can be adapted on a DSLR. Yesterday, I already finished to mount a Nikkor-TV lens (S13-9B1-EMS-20) on my Nikon d300s. And it works perfect ! I'm going out today to try it at the Lyon's zoo. I already successfully adapt another which was a Fujinon 14x. So, I really think that this chunk piece of glass can be interesting, and become a new lens on a DSLR, and not for a third-four format.

Well I can understand it's use, but what I don't understand is people paying £258 for a very heavy lens, is the quality so brilliant that no other smaller lens would do?
This lens should give decent quality as according to the serial number it was made about 1968, but although it focuses from 3.5 ft to infinity, the focusing zoom part (to initially set distance) has no friction to stop it moving if pointed up or down, and looking at the picture on ebay it would seem a motor adjusted this bit.
