For Sale: C-Mount Angenieux 17-68mm f/2.2 with separate viewfinder

[Olle Knutson]

I have an Angenieux 17-68mm f/2.2 C with viewfinder for sale. If you have a non reflex bolex this could very well the best zoom you can have. It covers S16.

I recently used this for some of the handheld stuff on this music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGT73GcwhC

 

The lens is located in Europe but can send to anywhere. Asking 720 euro or usd. Shipping included.

Lenses designed for non- reflex Bolexes will not focus correctly at wide angle on a reflex model as a correction is needed to allow for the reflex prism. Those corrected lenses have the RX designation.

OP's lens has its own reflex system with the "dog-leg" finder. It predates the reflex Bolex.

I read what Mark wrote but I dont know to be honest. I used it on my Ikonoskop A-Cam and My Bell&Howell 240 with good results!

No it will work on a reflex Bolex too, you will just get a little more softness and blooming at open apertures at the wider end. If you stop down a couple of stops it should be fine.
