Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f / 0.7 is one of the most high-aperture photographs of lenses in history. [1] It was designed on the basis of one of the most famous optical schemes Planar , and made specifically for the American lunar program Apollo for shooting the back side of the Moon in 1966 . [2] [3] [4]
Stanley Kubrick used these lenses when shooting his film “ Barry Lyndon, ” which allowed him to shoot scenes only by candlelight. [5] [6] The lens was also used in the filming of films such as Schindler's List , The English Patient , Shakespeare in Love . [7] [8]
There are only 10 such lenses, one is for Carl Zeiss , six are for NASA , and three were for Stanley Kubrick. The latter are made specifically for the filmmakers in the budget option with a reduced use of rare earth elements [1] . Each “space” copy cost NASA about $ 1 million [7] .
The modern film maker P + S Technic offers to rent the Kubrick Collection kit: a PS-Cam X35 digital movie camera with Zeiss Planar 50mm f / 0.7 lenses and Zeiss Planar 30mm f / 0.7 lenses. [9]
