Angenieux B4 lenses

PostFri Sep 30, 2022 7:31 am

I was recently looking at a very fine condition Angenieux T15x8.3B1ESM B4 lens on eBay. These lenses were marked 'HR' or High Resolution and I have seen here some people using them successfully on the UBG2s. So I contacted Angenieux about it. Even though they don't make them anymore, they got back to me within one day, supplied the manual and told me they stopped making them 25 years ago, well before HD was even a thing in ENG cameras - they are not HD lenses, even though I see them advertised all over eBay, as such. I imagine they are fine lenses nonetheless, I have a a Canon J16, which is phenomenally sharp for an SD lens, but anyway, just so you know.

I was far more impressed by Angenieux service though, that I almost wanted to buy it anyway :)
