Product Description
The P. Angénieux 28mm f/3.5 Retrofocus Type R11 is a highly regarded vintage wide-angle prime lens designed for Exakta mount cameras, representing the classic optical engineering excellence of Angénieux. As a true retrofocus design, it allows wide-angle coverage while maintaining sufficient mirror clearance for SLR systems, making it an important early example of wide-angle lens innovation. The 28mm focal length delivers a broad field of view ideal for landscapes, architecture, reportage, and general wide-angle photography, while the f/3.5 maximum aperture offers a balance of compact design and usable low-light performance. Known for its distinctive rendering, smooth contrast roll-off, and organic character, this lens is highly sought after by collectors and photographers who appreciate vintage optical aesthetics combined with precision French engineering.
