American Cinematographer - June 2020 - 71
Candlelit scenes for the period drama Barry
Lyndon (1975) required director Stanley Kubrick
(uq, far left) and cinematographer John Alcott,
BSC to employ two specially modified Zeiss f/0.7
lenses: a 50mm and another 50mm fitted with a
Kollmorgen projection-lens adapter that gave it
an effective focal length of 36.5mm. ASC
associate Ed DiGiulio, president of Cinema
Products Corporation (uqq), assisted Kubrick
with the lens conversions and wrote about the
technical endeavor in the March 1976 issue of AC.
hired people who are expert at handheld filming - big, solid guys who
can really hold a camera steady. I'm

the journal in question is one devoted
to something as visually exciting as the
motion-picture medium. But if it turns
out that these worthies are right and
that we have, indeed, gone too far this
time, then I must personally accept full
blame."
Some of the most oft-referenced
articles in AC are those detailing the
work of Gordon Willis, ASC, who had
a very good decade indeed during the
1970s - despite the fact that studio
executives often felt he had gone too

he often favored. In addition to covering his timeless work with Francis
