Jeremy Russell Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I read a post awhile back about some f0.7 lenses available, possibly in europe? Has anyone actually shot with these, and are they even possible to run on say a panavision or aaton 35 camera? I was discussing this idea with my DP, and we are in agreement that we want to use them for a commercial. Is it even logistical to attempt it? Anyone with any knowledge in this area that can help would be great, and I thank you in advance. Thanks, Jeremy Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jeremy Russell <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you might want to contact the people that have them: http://www.joedunton.com/ it does say "available for selected projects" so I guess they will not rent them out to anyone for any project.

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 11, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted July 11, 2005 As far as I know, only Kubrick had a couple of f/0.7 Zeiss 50mm lenses (some were converted to other focal lengths using adaptors) -- I saw one of his lenses at JDC when I was there two weeks ago. It can only go on an adapted rackover (non-reflex) Mitchell, which JDC also has. HUGE rear element, almost as big as the front element. You'd be better off finding some f/1.0 50mm lenses, which are much more common and can be used on any camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted July 11, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted July 11, 2005 JDC are renting out a 35mm, 50mm and 85mm F 0.7 lens. But you can only use them on the modified Mitchel camera. They'll rent them out for any project, as long as you pay. I don't think camera rental companies can afford to only rent out to films that they deem worthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
