Cinematographer Julio Macat ASC ("After the Wedding")

My favorite lens for the wide angles became the (Prime 65) 28 mm, which is just a beautiful lens...it's a great story-telling lens.

For me the DNAs were this lovely confluence...they had a vintage sensibility, but still had a way of expressing precision in a more modern fashion.

Cinematographer C. Kim Miles CSC ("Welcome to Marwen")

Our main lenses throughout were the Prime 65s...we were between 50 and 65 mm for the bulk of the show; they're the most cinematic focal lengths in the 65 format, to my mind.

Cinematographer Michael Fimognari ("Gerald's Game")

We felt that optically the Vintage 765 lenses were the perfect balance of a shallow, cinematic depth of field, without being too dreamy.
