  1. Up for grabs is an excellent super 16 or micro 4/3 prime lens: The zeiss super speed 25mm t1.3, in PL mount Hate to part ways with it, it really is an amazing lens. No scratches, great overall condition. Bought from Visual Products this summer, looking at 1250 US$ for it, plus shipping. Images: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kE0DScl5SHIVqnI3HYi58Sqgc3hvZHJN Also have a super wide kinoptik 5.7mm in PL mount, taking offers on this one. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e4WUZfFNWzAnBGbXM_ZNR7tuMWDS1OCz
  2. According to Larry Smith's interview on American Cinematographer : Kubrick framed Eyes Wide Shut in the standard 1.85:1 format, primarily using a set of Zeiss Superspeed T1.3 spherical prime lenses, but occasionally opting to employ Arri’s T2.1 variable prime lenses or a zoom. (...) The results of the two-stop force-development are clearly evident in the film’s FIRST major setpiece (...) The scene was lit almost entirely with a huge wall of ordinary Christmas lights (...) " They were very low-wattage (...) The effect is obviously enhanced by the force-developing, which made the lights appear to be much brighter than they were(...) "We decided to shoot nearly all of the picture at a stop of T1.3, and since we were pushing everything, we were able to create a wonderful warm glow. We also used a Tiffen LC-1 [low-contrast] filter for our night interior scenes, and the effect it produced is especially evident in the party sequence—it made the lights glow and gave everything a slightly surreal edge." Although the filmmakers used no additional lighting in wider shots of the party, Smith did modify his approach for close-ups of the actors, utilizing a China ball containing a dimmer-controlled 200-watt bulb. "The China balls were very useful if there was any movement in the scene, because they’re very light; we could just walk around with them and do anything we wanted. Normally, I only used a small amount of fill light when things began to get a bit murky, because I knew that the force-developing would give us the exposure level we needed For the scene in which the Hungarian FIRST approaches Alice, I created some fill with a smaller curtain of the Christmas lights." -So Larry Smiths says that they shoot nearly all of the picture at a stop of T1.3 ... And as we know the ballroom was low lighted so they should use the zeiss super speed T1.3 WIDE OPEN (f1.2) .. RIGHT?? -We also know that the Nicole Kidman's dance was shot with the Cooke Varotal 20-100 f2.8 T3.1 Note the word "FIRST" on Larry Smith phrase : "For the scene in which the Hungarian FIRST approaches Alice, I created some fill with a smaller curtain of the Christmas lights." The "first approache" is that shot which include a ZOOM IN around in the half of it's length : Then it cuts to a static shot with much more sharpness and longest Depth of Field And then, starts the dancing, which as i can figure out, it's a 360o rotation round the camera's tripod 1. So for the dancing they had the china ball ABOVE the CAMERA'S POSITION ?? 2. The need of the "small curtain" ONLY in the the "approache moment" ,was it beacouse of the "wide" open shot of the ZOOM LENS in the beggining ??? And china balls wasn't enough to "cover" the f2.8 of the Cooke zoom lens ??
