Wow. This lens is so wide, it can literally see behind itself. Weighing in at 25 lbs, the lens produces a circular image that contains almost everything around it, except for what is directly behind the lens. The makers put the lens on a stool facing up, and then photographed everything from the floor to the ceiling.

Ciniestill Shortage!
Having recently used up the supply of Cinestill 800T here at Ag+ Process HQ, a purchase seemed in order. However, on checking the supplier's website, this film is listed as on back order for both 35mm and 120 format! Not only that, but Cinestill 50D in 35mm format is also unavailable.
The Cinestill website lists these films as unavailable. The BWXX film in 35mm format is still listed as available.
Your blogger will post when these fine films become available again. The creamy colours and high speed are a favorite here!
