| Summary: | This book looks at the history of the Angénieux zoom lens, long fabled in Hollywood, responsible for NASA's documentation of the first moon landing in 1969 and, more recently, heavily deployed in Game of Thrones. The company's story begins in 1935 and continues to the present. The incredible epic of this brand began in 1935 with Pierre Angénieux. Inventor of the Retrofocus, father of the concept of modern zoom with mechanical compensation, Pierre Angénieux revolutionized focal calculation and deployed unparalleled inventiveness throughout his life, making his workshops of Saint-Héand in France a world reference in optics for cinema, photography and television. Today, backed by the Thales group since 1993, the Angénieux brand continues to offer the best technological solutions for cinematographic image. |
