What it is

{"overview":"The Angenieux 45-90mm f\/2.8 is a fast standard-range zoom built by the French optical maker Angenieux for the Leica R bayonet, sitting in the upper tier of manual-focus SLR zooms from that era. Both figures are auction hammer results from UK rooms, so they reflect wholesale levels rather than dealer retail asking prices, and a clean, fungus-free copy with a working Leica R mount would be expected to sell for at the upper end of that band today.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear groups carefully under a torch for fungus, haze and any sign of element separation along the cemented surfaces, all of which are common on zooms of this vintage and depress price.

Questions

How much does an Angenieux 45-90mm f/2.8 sell for compared to other Leica R zooms?

With limited recent data, the typical price sits in four figures at hammer for a clean working example, reflecting its scarcity and the constant f/2.8 aperture across the zoom range.

What faults most affect the value of this lens?

Fungus, internal haze, oil on the aperture blades and any element separation are the main issues that cut the price; smooth zoom and focus action and a clean Leica R mount support the upper end of the auction range.
