From the above very cool site on cult lens companies.
"Angenieux is a French third party lens manufacturer that ranks with Schneider
and Zeiss as one of the world's top lens makers.

Angenieux lenses are unfamiliar to most 35mm SLR users because they are very
expensive and come in only a few mounts, chiefly Leica. To a Leica user, a top
quality Angenieux 70-210mm f/3.5 zoom for only $1,845 in 1983 is a bargain ;-)
(that's $3,000+ in today's 1998 dollarettes)."

What does anybody think about Angenieux? Anybody use them on thier Leica R's or Nikons?
