Aungieneux 17 - 102mm T2.9 VS Cooke varotal 20-100mm T3.1


Recommended Posts

I just saw this test video and i was attracked by the look of the 1990's Aungieneux HR T3.5 version of the legendary 25-250 series 

My local rentals have only the Aungieneux 17-102mm HR T2.9 which i guess it will have a similar look as it seems to be a short-range version of the 1990's HR series  

I'm a bit confussed becouse i haven't seen this lens be noticed by cinematographers and there are almost no infos about this lens on the web 

I read that was used in 90's on the sitcom Seinfeld but if it was such a good lens wouldn't have a hard use on the movie industry? 

The 1970's legendary Cooke 20-100mm was still a workhorse on the industry on the 90's

It would have had plenty of use in the 90s through to the 00s, most rental houses would have had one, but the Cooke 20-100 and 18-100 were probably more popular for that sort of range. 

A quick google shows it was used on films like Tsotsi and Black Dahlia, but there would have been more, as well as TV shows.
