Love seeing old distorted lenses like the Helios 44-2 (which you can find for $60), used on $200MM blockbusters like THE BATMAN.
This lens, along with the Jupiter 9 were modified for cinema by IronGlass, and used in the Penguin chase sequence.
Brilliant choice by DP Greig Fraser to embrace the weirdness of these flawed Soviet lenses, and achieve a vintage 70’s analog aesthetic in the process.
