I have a old lens, 35 mm angineux lens with n42 screw mount. I have adapted it to nikon and canon mt, lens is in mint condition. Any thoughts on this lens and or value?
Thanks

I have a vintage 300mm lens from the same stable. It has 17 blades in the f/3.5 aperture ring. Great for the modern day Bokeh fanatics to view/comment. Only use it for fun (slow-down use) as I have Nikon auto focus 300mm also.

If it is the Angénieux 35mm f2.5 retrofocus then it is a valued collectors lens.
Angénieux made some of the finest cine camera lenses going.
Here is a link to one that went for over $600 on fleabay;

I have one of these lenses and they perform very well indeed.

Probably not very much. You s pent time and effort making them work, but who would want it.

As Oliver has said this could be a great lens and worth not an inconsiderable amount of money. If I had one I would definitely use it.

Angineux lenses are critically sharp lenses. The old saying was, "they are sharp enough to draw blood". I used to shoot an Alpa 9d and 9f 35mm and had an angineux 24mm f3.5 wide angle that was a stellar lens. Angineux made lenses in a number of different mounts. They had a 28-70mm f2.6-2.8 and a 70-210mm f3.5 in nikon-f mount that I lusted over, but was never willing to spend what they went for. Tokina had a 28-70mm f2.6-2.8 AF in nikon d-mount that had the same lens formula as the angineux 28-70. I have that lens today and it's a stellar performer.
