What lens do I need to shoot photos like pic related? Is it

>>3013385
You don't need any specific lens or camera, you need an understanding of composition.

This scene could easily be done on the lens you mentioned

What's this shit /p/ always says about never having the horizon at the midway point?

To film Omar Sharif's entrance through a mirage, Freddie Young used a special 482mm lens from Panavision. Panavision still has this lens, and it is known among cinematographers as the "David Lean lens."

> Is it possible to do it with a 70-200 lens for example?
Yup, I think so.

But for simplicity's sake, probably just use a 50mm prime.

HURRRRRRRZ

dumb faggot.

>>3013439
Nuts. I was going to say 600/4 jokingly.

If you really want to create that shot you have to go to whatever big budged movie is using the panavision 65mm camera and lenses used to shoot it.

on 35 or crop a 200mm should be about right to get a similar compression. though the film was shot on 70mm super panovision, to get it bang on OP is looking at a 450-500mm on a 645 cropped to 2.20:1.

could probably be done on 35mm with a scope lens but you could buy a 645d II kit with lenses for less

>tfw too old to learn how to quickly calculate equivalences between focal length, aperture, and film types in my head

Losing the ability to gain pattern recognition sucks.

I feel like the rules were made up by successful Jew photographers to trick any possible competition

>>3014989
It was shot on 65mm film and projected on 70mm film.

Don't be such a bitch about getting old. I learned how to convert camera settings to the LV/EV scale in my head with a couple of marker values (f/2=2, f/4=4, f/16=8; 1/60=6, 1/250=8, 1/1000=10, etc.) and practice. A kid's intuition about things can be correct quickly and easily, but when it fails he's up the creek of shit.

Pardon the shitty meme, but it really applies.
