Lenses and Film used to shoot Oppenheimer
I got interested in the filming of Oppenheimer when I read somewhere that a modified Helios lens was used. I have 2 Zenit Helios lenes that I bought for their swirly bokeh. I don't know where I saw that and subquently I could not varify the claim. What is stated by several sources is that 50 and 80 mm Panovision lenses were used plus a snorkle lens. My Helios lenses are 58 and 85mm. Panovision lens are anamorphic lenses. Anyway during my journey to clarify what was used for filming the movie I discovered that there in a modified version of the Helios 44-2 that is converted to a anamorhic design. So I had to have one and it was cheap! Several sources varified the claim that Kodak made a special version of Kodak Double X film for Oppenheimer. I need some of that also??
