Angenieux 90mm f2.5 Type Y1

The Angenieux 90mm f/2.5 Type Y1 is a short telephoto prime from the French maker Pierre Angénieux, produced during the post-war rangefinder and early SLR era. Built around a fast f/2.5 aperture, it was aimed at portrait and available-light work and is encountered in a range of mounts consistent with the period.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Angenieux 90mm f/2.5 Type Y1 have ranged from around £500 to £1,300 across the four recorded sales, with a median close to £675. The most recent result in June 2025 saw a clean example sell for £1,300, roughly double the levels seen in 2010–2011, and as of today the lens is worth noticeably more than a decade ago — though with only four data points the true market value can swing with condition and cosmetics.
