About the Item

Société d'Optique et de Mécanique Berthiot (SOM Berthiot) was a French manufacturer of optics and photographic lenses. They produced C and D mount motion picture lenses for professional and amateur use, as well as the Pan Cinor series of zoom lenses. In 1958, SOM Berthiot received an award in the "Scientific or Technical Achievement" category from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The award was for the development of a high speed vari-focal photographic lens, the Pan Cinor B3 (the professional equivalent of the Pan Cinor 70 and 100 series). Paillard was a major distributor for SOM Berthiot lenses and often advertised them alone or in conjunction with other Bolex products. Listed below are the standard mount, RX mount and zoom lenses manufactured by the company during the 1950s.
