Can anyone think of other lenses of different focal lengths that are similar to the Jupiter 3/Zeiss Sonnar f1.5 and might pair well with it? Thank you for that suggestion visualopins.


sure.. the Jupiter 9 (2/85) M39 version

Flare in motion pictures is like bokeh in stills shooting - vastly over-used in the modern age. Just look at the last Star Trek movie, it was ruined by the constant use of over-the-top flares. It all began with Babylon 5 - Newtek put a lens flare rendering feature into Lightwave and the creators of Babylon 5 put it to good use. But that was the stone age in terms of CGI and 20 years later there are so many other rendering tools available.

Sure, lens flare and bokeh have their place, a classic example being the trippy graveyard sequence in Easy Rider. But imagine if they'd shot the whole movie that way, it would be unwatchably cheesy.

Interesting subject.

I think I'll try my radio active Canon FD 35/2 with some 85B filtered CineStill 800T and experiment with ratings.

Thanks
