Photographer Timur Civan recently posted some AMAZING photographs on the Cinema5D forum. When an upcoming project of his called for a vintage look he enlisted a lens technician friend’s help. Not only did his friend find him an incredible 1908 (possibly earlier) 35mm lens (“Still functioning, mostly brass, and not nearly as much dust or fungus as one would think after sitting in a box for over a hundred years”), he helped him to fit it to his EOS 5D Mk II… seriously!
With the Wollensak 35mm F5.0 Cine-Velostigmat hand-cranked cinema camera lens, it looks like he got the look he was going for.
