  4. Mine does. You will see a cropped image when zoomed in but it is a big improvement over the original viewing system. Though, the eyepiece is a not as comfortable.

  13. Assuming that you are finishing digitally, whoever telecines your footage should easily be able to bring your image back to normal levels. I accidentally overexposed some 5217 by 4 or 5 stops and then had it pulled one stop. The telecine guy had no problem bringing the image back. Kodak stock is very forgiving. You probably don't even need to pull it. The most I think they can actually pull is 1.5 stops, maybe close to 2. At least that is what Deluxe LA told me. So, I just went ahead with one leaving 3-4 stops of overexposure for the colorist to deal with. He had to tone down the colors a bit because they were very saturated, especially the reds. Here is a frame grab to give you a reference. There was a retro vibe to this shoot and we used the old Schneiders. So the glass yielded a softer image to begin with.
  14. Raoul Coutard appears as a cameraman in Contempt by Godard.
  15. There was a complete redesign on the Ser 3. The 18mm is much smaller, has a flat front element and offers more coverage. The same can be said about the 25mm apart from the flat front element. Coatings vary quite a bit on Cooke lenses. I have been assembling a set and both ser 2 and 3 made in the mid 70s are very cool compared to the warmer look of those made in 1970 and earlier. You will notice a bluish coating to some of the Ser 3 18mm sometimes that yields a warmer image than say one with a clearer magenta-ish coating from 1976. I have actually been surprised by the lack of warmth of the later panchros, since I expected them to be warm. They are razor sharp on a digital sensor (GH1). I have yet to test them out on 35mm so I am curious to see how they will behave on film. I have a clear 75mm from 1975 and one with the classic radio active decay from 1957. The older 'radioactive' one is a more pleasing portrait lens IMO but the yellowing seems to make the lens lose a stop of light or more. The later model is sharper, higher in contrast, and looks more saturated but lacks that unique golden tone of the older one.
