During the shooting of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, the lead actress, Maggie Cheung, complained to her co-star Tony Leung that she had absolutely no clue what was going on. He told her something along the lines of not to worry, because they would end up with a masterpiece. -

Zoom Vs Primes! Horses for courses isn't it, but more and more i will go out with my Tokina 28-70mm f2.6-2.8 - 3 focal lengths in one, no brainer! This is not to say that I don't like primes, well not entirely - I'm not too keen on wide angle lenses as they produce distortion the wider you go. And then this can be a bonus, try doing a close-up with a wide angle lens - the wider the better. So, the whole thing about you have to use a wide lens for landscapes or an 80mm for portraits is just nonsense. You use what you want to achieve the result that you want - there are no rules or if you are more traditional, rules are meant to be broken! If you follow the herd, you'll just produce pictures/films that look like everyone else's - how are you going to stand out if you aren't being creative in your lens choices? -

Chungking Express by Wong Kar-Wai Absolute masterclass in film making. Think it was shot in S16mm film, but the most impressive thing about the film was that he shot it in 2 weeks whilst waiting to edit Ashes of Time. The script/story changed whilst they were filming and they shot on location in Hong Kong. I think if you're going to write to make a film, keep it simple - if you look at Wong Kar-Wai's early films like Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, In the Mood for Love etc. - the premise is always simple/basic and they shine a focus on very few characters which really draws you in and with quite limited dialogue. He creates a mood and you should use the environment where you are filming to make it another character in the film, which complements the atmosphere you are trying to create in the story you are telling. Having filmed a lot for TV in cities etc. it really makes you focus on what you are trying to do and ultimately achieve - you've got to do things quickly and ignore what is actually going on around you, get the shot and be ready to be adaptable. -

That's such a bummer, re: the overheating. I've been eyeing the original S1R for stills. Was hoping he used price would go down more, but it hasn't moved much in the last year. -

Voigtländer made a 90 mm f/3.5 Apo Lanthar for DSLRs. Nikon made a series E 100 mm f/2.8 that is very compact. I think most people today prefer to use zooms for landscape photography. Short tele lenses of smaller maximum apertures typically have some close-up capability or even may be optimized primarily for close-ups. I believe for the most part, manufacturers follow sales and make their product lineups based on sales data combined with estimated future demand. Often users just have to adapt to what is available if they want to use new lenses. Even popular lenses can be neglected or discontinued if the manufacturer wants to promote something new. One issue with non-macro primes of smaller apertures is that manufacturers find it easier to market product lineups where there is a clear line of progression from one level of product upwards to the mid-level and top-of-the-line, and every parameter of performance should improve along the way. This means that although it would be easier to make smaller-aperture lenses better optically than large-aperture lenses of corresponding focal lengths, the manufacturers will make every effort to make the reverse true and the larger-aperture lenses better in image quality, focus speed, etc. and sometimes this means the smaller aperture lenses don't get all the quality they could have. This is unfortunate as I believe there is significant demand for compact, very high quality lenses.
