P. Angenieux introduced the Type S21 50mm f/1.5 in 1953, a six-element, four-group design from the Saint-Heand works, supplied in Exakta bayonet and M42 screw fittings. Angenieux claimed excellent definition across the field at full aperture, and photographers prize it as much for what surrounds that: a soft glow wide open that tightens as the lens is stopped down. It is among the scarcest lenses the company made for still cameras.
