Matthew Leonetti: Telephoto Lenses

Discussing Panavision's anamorphic C-series lenses used on Star Trek Insurrection:

"For scenes set on Ba'ku, we used some really long lenses-- up to 600mm and 800mm--because they give everything a bit more sparkle and the images are prettier. Just to do a closeup in anamorphic, you have to use a 180mm to get in tighter, but most of the movie was shot with 50mm, 75mm, 180mm, and 400mm lenses."
