THERE IS A UNIQUELY RICH AND DIVERSE HISTORY WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT PETER LEHMANN WINES IN THE BAROSSA, SO WE WANTED TO TELL A SIMPLE AND TRUE STORY WHICH FEATURES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE WORK OF ALL INVOLVED; FROM THE GROWERS, TO THE PICKERS, CELLAR HANDS, VITICULTURISTS AND WINE MAKERS.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET THEM ALL.
VINTAGE LENSES
HERE ARE SOME MOTION STILLS TESTS I'VE TAKEN FROM RUSSIAN VINTAGE FF35 OPTICAL LENSES PRODUCED IN THE 1970'S WITH SINGLE COATINGS.
I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A LENS TECH IN THE UKRAINE TO BUILD A FULL FRAME 35MM PL MOUNT CINE SET OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS. TESTING OF THE VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS & MECHANICAL OPTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE MATCHED TWO FOCAL LENGTHS THOUGH IT'S AN EVOLVING PROJECT AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH SOMEONE IN THE UKRAINE IS NOT ALWAYS AS FAST AS I'D LIKE.
FOR THE RIGHT PROJECTS, PAIRING THESE OLDER LENSES WITH DIGITAL SENSORS I CAN ACHIEVE A SUBTLE ORGANIC LOOK CLOSER TO FILM
I'LL HAVE MORE DETAILS AND A COMPLETE SET OF FOCAL LENGTHS IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
