Cinema Equipment: Angenieux 7-81 HR

Zoom Angénieux 7-81mm HR T/2.4
Super 16mm

From “The Cine Lens Manual”

b​y J. Holben and C. Probst:
​”…With the gradual move to adopting the wider-gauge Super 16 format into productions throughout the 1980s and into the 2000s, Angénieux released only three lenses specifically designed for the larger imager area.​ The 7-81mm T2.4 HR is the latest, made in 1994.​”

“When Century Precision, then the exclusive dealer for Angenieux film lenses in the U.S., introduced these lenses in 1993, they were priced at $16,950.00. In 1999, Angenieux discontinued the 11.5-138 HR, in favor of their new 7-81mm HR Super 16 zoom lens. List price in 1999 was $19,700.00.​”

Zoom Lenses are amazing in the s16 form factor. It makes them significantly lighter, faster, and with a much longer range. This is a particularly special and sharp zoom lens with Angenieux character.
