Cinematography decisions by Soderbergh

Hi,

I was watching through some B-roll and BTS from Soderbergh's Contagion (2010) and Side Effects (2013), and while both were shot on the RED cameras, Contagion on RED One and Side Effects on RED Epic, does anyone know what lenses were used? It seems that quite a few scenes were shot wide open. It does seem that Soderbergh used BPM filter, and I saw some shots were slated at 48FPS with 45deg Shutter Angle. What exactly would that do to the shot?

The Contagion IMDb page says Super Speeds which I find believable. 

48fps isn't really useful for slow motion, so the fast shutter angle and the higher frame right is most likely to sharpen up an action shot. Or lessen the motion blur because it fit the tone of the shot.
