I want to get my hands on that 50mm/f0.7

(granted I wouldn't be able to keep focus... but damn, you could shoot by matchlight)

i know they say that the 50mm f/0.7 was used to shoot some candle lit scenes in Barry Lyndon-but i could swear i've seen people shoot candle lit 'scenes' with a 5d mk ii.

and i'm pretty sure you can keep focus if nothing moves.

That giant fisheye cracks me up, I have never seen anything like that.

It's not just the lens, you have to take film sensitivity into account as well. Film stocks were much slower then as compared to today. You can film candle lit scenes with a DSLR because the sensors are very sensitive.

ah. that makes sense.

So if you could get adapters for these lenses, would you lose stops due the adapter?

And yeah, that fisheye is crazy!

It would be nice if Canon introduced an EF version of that 50mm f/0.95. Make it manual focus only, same price as the f/1.2.
