  1. Usually I prefer the look of Panavision lenses, but I happen to like the Atlas Orion Anamorphics much more than other brand's, much expensive anamorphic lenses. The Orions have a great classic look when stopped down just a little bit. For me it was clear from the beggining that in "Babylon" Linus Sandgren was trying to break up the image using them wide-open or nearly wide-open for many of the night scenes. And he had them modified by Atlas to get more diffused highlights and more prominent flares, and it shows. But the texture of the lenses with the film stock is really nice. As for the film, it's overlong, fascinating and flawed at the same time. I can really understand why it flopped, but it will find a second life in streaming platforms. It would even work better as a three or four episode miniseries.
