If I get an opportunity, I'll try to post some frame captures in a few weeks.

That would be great. I´m planning to do a test using different soft fx filters in a few weeks after the Cinec trade show. I can post something too.

On 'The Merchant of Venice' the Dop used 1/8 and 1/4 Promists (both black and white) regularly. This was on top of being wide open or near wide-open most of the time. The film, which was Super 35, still looked very crisp in the theatre.

I´ve got the DVD. I liked the cinematography but in some cases, mainly faces, it looked too sharp for my humble taste. There were some scenes, like the ones with a ship on the sunset or where Portia waits with the three coffins that looks magnificent. Is mainly on the medium close ups up to the close ups where they seems to need to get stronger filters to get rid of the plastic look. 21 grams was shoot with ultra Primes I believe and it doesn´t feel like a super budget commercial. anyway, thanks Max for the tip, I really liked Shylock !

Thanks Max. I haven´t seen that movie yet but it´s going to be the next one for sure. I think one of the AC magazines of this year talks about this movie. I believe the reason for Super 35 is based on all the DI work for a period story shot in modern times !!.

Thanks again and good luck

I want to try new ways of difussion for the Zeiss Ultraprimes lenses. We use them mostly for commercials where a clean, sharp and contrasty look is desired but now want to explore, approach to a more "natural classic narrative motion picture" look but without killing its high quality characteristic. Any experience, comments, filters recommendations ?.

(I was personally thinking about the "Pride and Prejudice" look. I think, for what I found seing the DVD extra features, cinematographer Roman Osin used an Optimo 24-290 most of the time... The film looks sharp but not too much and warm).

Best regards
