  4. The first American movie shot on video tape and transferred to film for theatrical and TV release was the weird, but rather unsettling 1971 movie "The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler" starring Leslie Nielsen. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067669/
  5. The Phantom Menace used the Sony HDC-750 for one sequence, I believe the midichlorian scanning scene. The majority of the film was shot on 35mm using Arriflex 435 ES and 535 B cameras.
  6. It depends if the type of shot you need is a macro or just a tight close-up. As was said above, the Italian close-ups were basically just shot at the end of a telephoto zoom - if that is the type of shot you need then a 200mm to 250mm might be the simple answer. In that case you are getting a tight framing through restricted angle of view, not proximity to the subject. If you "need" a macro, and you can mount a Nikon or similar to your camera, there should be no issue. Nearly every vintage cinema macro from the 60s to the early 90s used rehoused photography optics, Nikon, Leica, Zeiss or Canon.
  7. Since the focal length equivalence debate is one that many people still seem to get wrong... so not sure I'd call it a dead horse... The point I was making is that using a lens 1.5x longer will give an even shallower DOF (at the same fstop) even when dealing with macro distances. A shot with a decent DOF will be moderately easier to achieve on MFT - compared to S35 and much easier than on FF/135. Yes the 250mm end of the Angenieux zoom would be the way to go, but if the OP is using Speed Panchros, it's doubtful his set includes any of the telepanchros.
  8. And a deeper DOF (at the same stop) than the equivalent lens would on S35
  9. What format did you shoot this on with the 90mm macro?
  10. How close are you hoping to get? There are plenty of lenses with excellent close focusing. The attached image was shot using the Van Diemen 24mm T3 Leica R rehousing, which focuses 17cm from the sensor / film plane. They also made some specific "macro" close focusing lenses including a 50mm T1.5 that allow for some extreme close-ups. Or if you wanted to stick with the Speed Panchros, you could use extension tubes. There is a great Duclos PL to PL version for about £300 that you should be able to use with the Panchros.
  11. Cooke Speed Panchro 18mm f1.7 T2 rehoused to Arri PL mount The lens has been modded to Arri PL - with a solid sleeve rehousing, that has added improved focus and aperture gears. The optics are in excellent condition for their age, bright and clean, with only a few faint cleaning marks. Some paint loss to the rear of the large front element (see photos), has no effect on the images. The is some paint loss and signs of corrosion on the front ring of the housing. Can be used as is on any Arri PL compatible camera, or could be rehoused by TLS. Price: £3500 Ships from the UK at cost (buyer pays all shipping and necessary insurance).
  12. Originally designed for use on 16mm film cameras, the lens covers S35 with ease and FF/135 with some fall off towards the corners. Very characteristic swirling bokeh similar to the Helios 58mm. All samples shot at f2.8 on the Sony A7Rii in full frame mode. Price dropped to: £1800
  13. Price dropped to £65,000 (For a UK sale VAT is charged at 20%)
