    Overview

    The Angenieux Paris 90mm f/1.8 Type P1 is a rare, fast portrait lens originally for 35mm SLR cameras, with M39 screw mount and Leitz adapter. It is highly sought after, fetching around US $5,500 on eBay. Optically, it offers beautiful bokeh and detailed rendering, with light orbs that blend naturally with the subject, though it exhibits peripheral distortion typical of early large-aperture telephoto lenses. Build-wise, it pairs with Leica rangefinders via adapter. This lens suits wealthy vintage collectors and enthusiasts seeking unique, artistic rendering.
