Angenieux is a French optical company founded in 1936 and installed at Saint-Heand. It has made lenses for still and movie cameras, and for military applications.
In 1950, Angenieux released the first retrofocus lens, a design that allows to fit a wide angle lens on an SLR without interfering with the moving mirror.
In 1958, it launched its first zoom lens for movie cameras. The idea of a zoom lens appeared early, and the first useable models for movie films appeared in the 1930s, but remained highly experimental.
Angenieux is one of the first companies to have sold zoom lenses on a large scale, after Zoomar and SOM-Berthiot.
Angenieux built the first zoom lens for a Leica still camera, with the 45-90/2.8 zoom for the Leicaflex.
Angenieux stopped the production of still camera lenses in 1994. It continues to produce lenses for the movie and video industry, as well as other specialised applications.
