American Cinematographer - February 2009 - (Page 55) who has abandoned your founding mandate!’ I think I finally shamed them, and they started to think about it seriously. It still took another couple of years, and Phil Radin was my ally all the way. The first new lens was the 4080mm, and even though the range is only 2:1, I found it very useful. Then, about a year and a half ago, I went back to Phil and said coverage was still an issue; from the medium shots to the close-ups, I still had to use fixed lenses, and the Primos only go up to 100mm, so I had to use the old E-Series lenses. There was only a 135mm and a 180mm — nothing in between. I said, ‘Is it possible to make a second lens that would cover from where the first lens ends and take me up into a real close-up range?’ They then came up with the 70-200mm, which actually goes a little bit wider as it ties into the 4080mm. It’s about 2⁄3 of a stop slower, but it’s still very doable for most situations. Both lenses have the anamorphic lens element in front, so there’s much less loss of light. Shooting anamorphic is now more like working with spherical lenses. The optical quality of both of these lenses is really extraordinary. The 70-200mm has as good a resolution and color rendition as any prime I’ve used, and, of course, because it’s one lens, you don’t have the color shifts you get when you change from one fixed lens to another. It makes for much more even-looking dailies. Phil says Panavision is having a very difficult time supplying enough of these lenses to meet demand. They’re rented almost all the time. There is no anamorphiclens system in the world that is as good as Panavision’s, and this has been a real boost for them. ¢ Barrymore and Johannson run through their lines for director Ken Kwapis, who opted to stage the scene as a dolly move (note tracks on floor).
