3. Creative Use
This lens is primarily booked when a rectilinear, high-contrast image is desired, and rapid reframing without changing lenses is necessary – typical for documentaries with a feature film ambition or for commercials with tight schedules. The blue flare character in backlight is present but unobtrusive; those seeking a pronounced flare look will look elsewhere. In German and European rental houses, it often serves as a complement to Leitz prime sets. Specific film references cannot be reliably verified and are not mentioned here.
