You know, how the Eclair Cameflex was used during the French new wave, and what Hollywood was using in the 80’s.

Not specifically those things, but a doco about the cameras and lenses used for making movies.

I was thinking of that film but I couldn’t remember what it was called and was having trouble finding it. Thank you Francisco.

Cameras and lenses being only as good as the people using them….

That said , I would gladly pay to watch a good docomentary about the Bell /Howell Eyemo-Filmo cameras that shaped newsreel and the view of reality in the 20th century. The Mitchell Eclair Arri and Panavision may deserve films of their own.
