sfage Posted April 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just bought an Angenieux 35-70 lens. It's fun to work with! I haven't souped any of the film yet but from what I saw (through the VF) so far, it seems very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hi sfage, Take a look here Just bought an Angeneiux. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
maurometallo Posted April 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2011 I have never owned nor worked with one of those... However, for what I have read about them since when I was a teen-ager, Angeneiux are supposed to be very fine lenses indeed. Please post some photos for us when you have the chance.

semrich Posted April 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 19, 2011 I have the 35/2,5 LTM, it's one of my favorites, difficult to explain, it seems to handle difficult lighting in a special way. Here's a shot: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted April 22, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 22, 2011 Don't use soup. Regards, Bill But surely your man Lupin could whip up a pot of hearty soup in a trice that would set that film a-developing as well as provide a delicious feast I'll be bound! Either that or the man's an imposter, a bounder, and a cad, Sir!! Colonel Loftus Fortescue-Smythe 5th Infantry Regiment HM Coldstream Guards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlancasterd Posted April 22, 2011 Share #7 Posted April 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Don't use soup. I believe coffee gives much better results... I had an Angenieux 70-210 f3.5 in an R mount and it gave excellent results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted April 23, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 23, 2011 But surely your man Lupin could whip up a pot of hearty soup in a trice... Ah , Colonel, good to hear from you. I fear Lupin leaves all the cooking to our French cook, Madame Pont. She has yet to master the joys of Brown Windsor, but she does do a fine onion broth.

gvaliquette Posted April 23, 2011 Share #9 Posted April 23, 2011 I just bought an Angenieux 35-70 lens. It's fun to work with! I haven't souped any of the film yet but from what I saw (through the VF) so far, it seems very good Congratulations! I have both the 35-70 and the 70-210 Angenieux zooms, as well as the 45-90, all for my R6.2 and R9. They are great lenses. However, be aware that the Achilles' heel of the 35-70 is flare! Otherwise, a great lens. Enjoy! Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember old Shaggy Dawkins from the Officer's Mess in Nagpur being partial to a spot of onion broth - swore blind that it was a universal panacea. Did the blighter no good though because in the end he was shot in the Dardanelles. But anyway, this man Lupin of yours sounds like he's in need of a damn - good - thrashing! Meh, that'll get the malingerer skivying in the canteen, you mark my words. But back to the matter in hand, what? These Angenieux whatsits, are they some sort of French lens or uncommon Belgian runner beans?

lct Posted April 23, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 23, 2011 Very fine lens, a bit soft in the corners but good contrast and resolution otherwise if memory serves, even in macro mode. I preferred the last Vario-Elmar for its significantly shorter size but i miss the larger aperture of the Angénieux when i don't bring primes in the bag.
