Some moving real world images from the 1908 Wollensak Cine-Velostigmat f5 lens.

This is a mix of natural lighting, cine style lighting, hand held, the Kessler Pocket dolley and tripod work. Much of this was shot to see what this lens can do in real conditions, and where its strengths and weaknesses are. What it adds, what it loses is in my opinion what makes this glass unique. This motion test is a precursor to an upcoming film project. enjoy....

Special thanks to Kessler for proving equipment support, Bhavani lee for being an amazing performer, Thomas wong for editing the hell out of this, and to Khalid Mohtaseb for providing me with additional equipment.

  • EPIC! how muych vignetting is in post?

  • 102 years old and still pimpin?

  • the vignetting looks great

  • looks gash

  • song? sounds like jack white

  • Unbelievable quality from such an old lens, and brilliant camera work. It has a certain professional quality about it, and the music fits right in. But I have to ask: Where in the hell was this film going? It was cutting from a girl running, to some half-naked woman, to cows...and it just kept returning to them, all the time, with the shots not really any different. This project doesn't seem to have any real sense of direction, but everything else is great.

  • I'm glad to see no pervet comments ! :D It was so artistic, Very nice vid !!

  • Buuuuuuutiful

  • Wow, the switch from cows to half-naked girl is jarring!
