Nooman Naqvi Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 What kind (make/model) of lense is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it might be one of the new Zeiss Master Primes. Cute seeing it on a 2c--the lens is worth about 10x the camera. Good illustration of how massive these primes are--that's not a telephoto either, just a regular lens.

Nick G Smith Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've seen this picture before. A production still from 'Dark Summer' by Charles Teton. Feature on 2.35:1 Camera from Sammies UK so before they became part of Panavision UK. I think this is a panavised 2c with an anamorphic lens, can't tell what lens from the picture.

Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted September 25, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2006 It looks like a Todd-AO anamorphic lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted September 25, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2006 It's definitely not a Master Prime, they are much more smooth and don't need a brideplate support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If it is a still from "Dark Summer" IMDB says Super 35 , Canon Lenses! John Holland , London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Smith Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 This is like spotting aeroplanes. Certainly not a canon lens. Anyway here is the website : http://www.makingmymovie.com/menu/ds.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 IMdb ,gets thing wrong a lot , read the web site you posted , every reference is about the 2.35 format , not that it was shot with Anamorphics , not having a row over it lifes to short .

Greg Lowry Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) What kind (make/model) of lens is this? :D I agree with John Holland. Looks like a Canon K35 zoom to me. Edited September 25, 2006 by Greg Lowry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dan Goulder Posted September 25, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2006 I agree with John Holland. Looks like a Canon K35 zoom to me. Yes, that is definitely a Canon K35. Does anyone know which primes (if any) were used on this movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Lowry Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yes, that is definitely a Canon K35. Does anyone know which primes (if any) were used on this movie? More evidence that it's a Canon K35 zoom. http://images.google.ca/images?q=canon%20k...sa=N&tab=wi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Smith Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes. John is right - a canon k35 25-120mm macro. Have to eat my matte box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Anthony Vale Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I agree with John Holland. Looks like a Canon K35 zoom to me. When Canon first showed this lens to the Motion Picture Research Council, it was shown with a pair of Canon anamorphic macrozoom prototypes, a 40-135 T4.5 and a 60-200 T4.5, and a 30mm anamorphic prime that focused to a half meter. They were fairly compact, smaller than the spherical zoom. The MPRC had commisioned the anamorphics. When they were informed that Canon would be using flourite elements, that asked Canon to also make a spherical zoom prototype. This is in an AC article from the 70s. While the spherical zoom was an after thought, it's the one that went into production. & there was an anamorphic rear attachment. But what became of the anamorphic prototypes? I'm guessing there was only one set. Canon? The MPRC? Ed diGiulio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the late, great Ed diGiulio had a most interesting collection/accumulation of stuff, my guess would be Canon, especially if the lenses were prototypes.
