329. Carl Zeiss Planar 0.7/50mm *

The most famous lens produced by Zeiss – ultra-fast Planar f0.7 50mm. It was designed in 1966 for NASA Apollo missions to photograph the moon's far side. With an incredible maximal aperture of f0.7, it was about two stops faster than the available lenses at that time.
A few years later, Stanley Kubrick decided to use three of these lenses to film Barry Lyndon. This lens's unique properties allowed to film some of the most iconic visuals known in cinematography, lit only by candlelights and shot using Planar f0.7 lenses on a modified Michell camera. Barry Lyndon won the 1976 Oscar for cinematography.
The offered lens no.2584563 is in beautiful condition, with clean optics. It is mounted in a modified Nikon F body no.6477895 and includes a (removable) tripod mount.
Only 10 of these incredible lenses have been made. Six have been supplied to NASA, three to Stanley Kubrick and one was left in the Carl Zeiss factory museum.
