Lyndon Lens
Here’s a fantastic tidbit about, amongst other things, a very fast f/0.7 lens that was used on Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. It’s the fastest lens I know about, interesting for motion picture and photography aspects, both of which I find utterly fascinating. And of course, it’s about the genius of Stanley Kubrick, so how can you go wrong?
It’s of particular note to me, because I just acquired a fast lens myself, a Sigma 30mm f/1.4, my first foray into large aperture lenses. I’m loving it, and have been keeping it on my camera most of the time lately.
