Dominik Bauch Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Anyone know what lenses are used on Star Trek Discovery season 2? Looks like Cooke Anamorphic i SF from the flares. No info anywhere online. Looks great, very cinematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted February 16, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 16, 2019 It's amazing how popular anamorphic lenses are right now. I was watching a new episode of "Drunk History" and the historical recreations are shot in anamorphic, and then during the commercial break, the first commercial was shot in anamorphic. Plus "Doctor Who" is now being shot in anamorphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panavision must be raking in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted February 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 The Star Trek franchise has a long history with Panavision, I think nearly every film and tv series used Panavision cameras and lenses, with most of the movies being anamorphic. However Star Trek Discovery gets their cameras and lenses from a company called Sim, whose rental catalogue lists Hawk V-Lites, Zeiss Master Anamorphics and Cooke anamorphics among their inventory. I haven't watched season 2 yet to have an idea which of those they might be using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted February 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 Oh yes, that's right! Filming for the second season would have been well underway by that time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
