>>113033 Well, I assume some of them still exist and will still mount, but it was a specialized lens for NASA to use on its Hasselblad bodies (so it was probably Zeiss, although I don't know for sure).
Kubrick wanted a period-painting-look for his film "Barry Lyndon," which meant no lighting rigs. Solution? Make a few phone calls, find the fastest lens in existence, pull a few string, get a copy, have someone re-machine the mount to fit your motion picture camera, make a great film.
Motion picture film is insanely slow, so you probably don't need a lens that fast to shoot what he did, especially with modern DSLRs handling high sensitivity very well. Exposure is a cakewalk for us compared to cinematographers. >>113035 But this is really why, seriously.
