'EO'
DP Michał Dymek: "I wanted to have full range of focus and motion, so I used a Zeiss Supreme Prime 35mm, which has a great close-focus distance."
The Zeiss optics were used in combination with the Canon K35 lenses: vintage optics known for their warm look, to add an extra layer of nostalgia to the film.

LENSES

Zeiss Supreme Prime
The ZEISS Supreme Prime 35mm T1.5 lens features an interchangeable PL mount and is marked in feet. The lens produces a 46.3mm image circle, covering full-frame sensors. The internal focus design provides minimal focus breathing and a non-rotating front. The focus ring rotates 300° from a close focus of 13" to infinity, providing plenty of room for precise focus pulls.
The iris is made up of 16 blades arranged to create circular, out-of-focus highlights. Both the focus and iris rings incorporate industry standard 0.8 MOD, 32-pitch drive gears, and the lenses within the Supreme lineup share the same gear positions, making for rapid lens changes.
Canon K35
Canon K35s are the perfect combination of amazing performance and unique character. They are low contrast, have a gentle focus fall-off, and produce gorgeous pastel skin-tones. Our set is made up of some of the oldest K-35s produced, therefore they are quite warm, and flares are a beautiful mix of gold, amber and magenta. They cover Full Frame, they are high speed lenses, have excellent close-focus and their 15-blade iris means your bokeh is always a soft circular shape. They are also one of the best performing vintage super speed lenses when shot wide-open thanks in a large part to their aspherical designs. That design was a big reason Canon K-35s won an Academy Award in 1977 for innovation. For some modern references, K35s were used to lens HER, AMERICAN HUSTLE and THE HANDMAID'S TALE.
