      It's a terrible shame that Kubrick didn't do more films.

        very clever.

        i should have been more clear. zeiss invented it for NASA for astro-photography. kubrick had it modified for motion picture photography. my point was more along the lines of 'wow, name another director who would do that'.

          I don't believe ever hearing that he modified the lens at all. There was a little part on the Kubrick: A Life In Pictures documentary, but I haven't seen that in a while and I don't rememeber exactly what happened. I know Kubrick used special cameras with the Zeiss lens, but I'm pretty certain that there was no mention of modification.

            It's true. He had someone at the studio or whatever rip apart special cameras that were no longer used by the studio because they were the only cameras who could support these NASA lenses he was going to use for the film.

              The movie sucked. Genius or not, the movie stunk on ice.
