Filmmaker Zack Snyder reveals that the combination of an old lens mixed with his modern equipment allowed him to create the "dreamlike" and shallow depth of field sequences for his latest film, Army of the Dead.
While in Finland visiting The Camera Rescue Project, YouTuber and vintage lens enthusiast Mathieu Stern got to try out a rare Canon "dream lens": the Canon 50mm f/0.95. And like any good camera nerd, Stern immediately set it to f/0.95 and tried to shoot some portraits.
When it comes to taking photos of stars, the best camera/lens combos are the ones that capture the most light.
Chinese photo enthusiast Benny Wong mounted his large (and rare) Canon 50mm f/0.95 lens onto his tiny Olympus E-P1 Micro for a pretty awesome looking setup.
