Zeiss and Kubrick, interesting read

Found this link from DPreview, shows how Kubrick used a Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 lens for his very low light filming.

Kubrick and Look
As stated in the article Kubrick was also a still photographer, and applied his same omnipotent bystander approach to his work for Look Magazine.

Some of the "in the movie theatre" shots seem inspired by WeeGee

Kubrick was a genius, and it is no suprise that he pushed the limits of cinematographic science, as he pushed the limits of emotions that could be conveyed through film.
