  1. Hi community,

    I made a "tool" in the form of a google sheet that lets you enter your vintage Angénieux lens serial number and then shows you the corresponding production year of that lens.

    The data set comes from the book Angénieux made in Saint-Héand, Loire, France, 2nd Edition, by Patrice-Hervé Pont, published by Atlantics in 2003, ISBN: 2-912848-22-9

    Here is the file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dM1nChUn4zMoc33ZFnvuciJtG5ONO0L2JPVUnshDteo/edit?usp=sharing

    You can download or "make a copy" of it for your own use.

    Cheers,
    Jannik

    Can you tell by the GUI on the LCD? See above at 4:58.

    That looks like an ALEXA GUI, but i don't know which model. I guess a LF or even 65 because of the super shallow DOF.

    I think it might be vintage lenses, because there is no IRIS data visible in the GUI.

    Thanks for the tip with the video, after I finished the series, I will watch the whole thing and maybe I can get a glimpse on the lenses.

  3. Hi Robert and Dom, thanks for your answers and insights!

    I'm sure it is fungus, you can see it better on the second photo above and on the upper right corner of the hot spot. Also these longer marks in the first picture are on the inside glass elements, so I guess they are unlikely to be cleaning marks(, which are commonly on the front and rear glass, right?)
    Also when I looked inside the lens with light it looked much more like Dom's example images. I just did not manage to perfectly capture it.

    @Robert Hart It's not a Cooke, it's an old Angeniex Zoom. I will use it to train to disassemble and clean a lens, when I have free time ?

  4. Good day community,

    is this fungus?

    And if so, is it a danger for my other lenses? I heard it is contagous, but I don't know how much? Can I keep this lens in a box in the same room or do I have to get rid of it as soon as possible?
    Never had to deal wirh fungus before.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jannik

    Does anyone have any further info on this lens and the question at hand? Thank you.

    Mine does not. Attached you find the original brochure of the lens.

    Thanks for that resource! Although I see some errors and missing data.

  7. Dear community,
    dear Angenieux experts!

    I got a set of four vintage Angenieux lenses which all match very well.
    I learned that there are newer, better coated HEC versions of two of the four lenses.
    I plan to convert my set to PL, but now I think of investing in the better HEC versions before I do the conversion. But I am afraid that the two HEC lenses will not match as well with the non-coated lenses, from which there are no HEC versions. These are the lenses:

    Angenieux Type R7 5.9mm T2
    Angenieux Type 6x9.5 T1.9 (T1.8 HEC version available)
    Angenieux Type 10x12 T2.5 (T2.3 and T2.1 HEC versions available)
    Angenieux Type 20x12 T4.2

    What do you think?
    Also if you have any information/sources on the different versions, I would be really thankful if you share them – it’s so hard to find anything.
    The best thing would be a list with serial numbers and years/versions.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jannik

  8. Thanks for your detailed answer.

    try plugging the laptop and the camera into the same wall circuit. IF the laptop will actually directly pull power from the wall (without going thru the battery first), then it may phase jam the two devices to eachother and get you what you need.

    Tried that, but didn't solve the problem.

    I might just live with it.
