Angenieux 28mm f1.1 Type M2

The Angenieux 28mm f/1.1 Type M2 is a fast wide-angle prime from the French maker Angenieux, produced for rangefinder use in the mid-twentieth century. Its f/1.1 maximum aperture made it an unusually bright 28mm of its era, intended for available-light reportage and low-light shooting where a slower wide-angle would not suffice.

At UK auction the Type M2 is a rare appearance, and the single recorded hammer result in the sales history is £1,600 in 2013 — a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a dealer retail price. With only one verified data point the lens does not have a meaningful median or range today in 2026, and what a clean copy is worth or sells for at auction will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, optical clarity and matched caps or hood. Buyers asking what an Angenieux 28mm f/1.1 is worth should treat that £1,600 hammer as an indicative floor for a complete example rather than a current market price.
