Big news for anamorphic close-focus cinematographers—bad news for the ACs pulling focus.
Somewhere lost in the constant drone of new digital cinema cameras and the constant string of camera cage improvements and knick-knacks are the tiny rumblings of a budding camera lens revolution which has been years—if not decades—in the making.
