This lens was very advanced for its time, as it had a small computer inside, but it could not stand the rigorous life of TV field. As I recall, the lens was capable of zero MOD.
ABC in the U.S. bought a few, but I was told that they sent most of their careers on the shelf at the Lodi, New Jersey OB shop. But that was from the Canon salesman.
He also said that Mr Julius Barnathan bought them as a favor to Bernard Angenieux for expediting optics to ABC during the colour transition in the 1960s. I can believe the second statement, as Mr Barnathan was a very loyal person to vendors who helped him in difficult times.
Even if you paid the ridiculous price, who would service the lens and are there any parts remaining..anywhere?
