Joe Dunton presenting several of the lenses that Stanley Kubrick used throughout his career as a film maker.
@11:08, a modified Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 gets a mention.

Thanks for the link, Ron!

This is an interesting watch.  I saw a "moving" 50/0.7 lens for the first time.   ;D

Thanks Ron.  Great display of Kubrick's knowledge of lenses.  Interesting to hear he choose the best of 10 samples.  ;)
