I have one person selling this one. I know almost all Angenieux are rare and pretty good lenses but I don't know anything about this zoom.


It's for Leica-R system and it is like new. I think that it could be very expensive right?


If someone knows it better please drop a line Smile

I know nothing about this lens. But there are some shots available from a Hong Kong forum. Hope it helps.

That one is in Nikon mount, but i think it is same as Leica mount?

Someone knows the usual price for one of this?

I'm dealing with the seller but I don't know how much I could offer.

I think I can do the deal at maximum 500€.


I'll try that and I'll tell you something guys.

Many thanks for help

I don't remember where, but some time ago, I read a rather detailed review on this lens. It didn't perform much better than the Nikon, Canon, Vivitar Series 1 lenses that were availble at the time. As I recall, I remember thinking to myself, that you are paying for a name, not performance. And yikes! Isn't it a two-touch model?

I searched for some pictures on flickr and I saw amazing results to be honest.

The bokeh is amazing. Very creamy. The sharpness is hard to confirm because the images are too small.

I won't do any type of crazyness with this lens. I only took it if the seller does a nice price. I'm not rich anyway Smile

I found another one in Nikon Mount. I sent an email to the seller.

Both of them don't know how much they want for the lenses.

I'll try to get both. Very Happy

Fixed luminosity f/3.5 70-210 zoom, sounds like a no brainer for me if the price is good. If you don't like it, you will surely find someone who wants to buy it from you.

There´s some tests with a Nikon D200 body on a French page

http://www.pictchallenge-archives.net/TESTNUM/032006bxuB.html

along with other 60 - 210 mm Nikon mount primes and zooms.

The Angenieux 70-210/3.5 seems to be not bad but not spectacular either, quite soft at f/3.5-4.0

Best zoom is in this range a good prime + some steps forward or backward..

Hi Lazzaros -- forget it -- If you want a good 70-210 zoom..

This is an expensive option but you know Smile

Go for this Smile

good luck..

~But I would recommend to make more investments in lenses they have aspherical elements (especially fast) --

you need to mind your backlights and strong light conditions --
so any flare resistance is very appreciated in your work ...


As far as I know: I can have a good picture but someone from creative department of some agency (which can be your potential customer)
can not use it because is not good for retouching .. -- too much harsh light..

Camera is not an issue -- put all your money in lenses -- that makes a sense..

You don't have to have too many lenses -- be focused on your needs and then buy a camera ..

The seller only can sell it after Summer.

Hope I can get a bargain.



I'm not really "interested" in the lens since I'm using Contax 645 now.

I'd like to buy it if I see a good deal in it.
Than my girlfriend takes it or I could sell it later.



For now I'm really interested in one digital back for my Contax 645 Very Happy
