Angénieux 12-120mm f/2.2 (T2.5) Type 10x12

We don’t have a vetted photo of this one yet. Own a copy? Send us a packshot and we’ll credit you.

The classic 10:1 zoom of 16mm documentary and news work, f/2.2 (about T2.5), parfocal and under 900 g. It is a standard-16mm lens: it comes closer than most of its contemporaries to filling Super 16 but does not fully cover it at every focal length, and it will not cover Micro Four Thirds — the 2/3-inch value here is the nearest format it safely covers. Minimum focus is about 1.5 m.

What it goes on

Made in C-mount, Arri Standard, Arri bayonet, Cameflex and Eclair/Bolex versions. C-mount copies adapt directly to Micro Four Thirds or Blackmagic Pocket (with a crop mode), and Arri-S/B versions adapt via PL-style adapters to Super 16 digital cameras.

  ARRI Standard-to-PL adapter. Same 52 mm flange distance, so the adapter is a simple sleeve — but most Arri Standard lenses were made for 16 mm or 35 mm Academy and may not cover Super 35.

  Fotodiox C-NEX. Mounts, but expect heavy vignetting outside a Super 16 crop; lenses with a wide rear barrel don't seat.

  Fotodiox C-MFT. The adapter recesses into the mount. Most C-mount lenses only cover a Super 16-sized crop (e.g. Blackmagic Pocket original, or ETC mode).
