I had the pleasure of operating on this project, one of the earlier Steadicam opportunities I had in 2025, released in February 2026. Thanks again to @almostart & @drew_english_ for having me onboard!

This was a fun short film to work on, shot in a single 6.5 minute continuous take on Steadicam.

Some test footage I shot recently using the newly rehoused Voigtländer 36-82mm T3.1 to see how this gorgeous vintage lens performed and get a sense of the flares, bokeh and edge to edge resolution.
The original optics date back to 1959 and was one of the first commercially available par-focal zoom lenses available for stills photography. Great to see it get a new life thanks to @ancientoptics
Covers large format sensors including Alexa Mini LF Open Gate.
