Like the Helios 44-2 (ca. 1958), still being used today on big features like "The Batman" in a few scenes. They mixed footage from that $500 vintage lens with $50,000 ARRI anamorphic primes.
- Ancapistani 3y agoMy Fujifilm X-Pro3 currently has a 1960s-era reflector lens mounted on it. I normally use a 56mm f/1.4 or 23mm f/1.2, but I still have a large collection of vintage Nikon lenses that see lots of use, though I've not owned a Nikon camera in a decade.
