So excited to finally share some stills from ‘Kitty’. This film was a really fun challenge, as the directors wanted to use the camera movement and the lighting to really heighten the comedy of the film, so we designed movement and lighting transitions to support the comedic beats. I cant wait to see how it does in festivals!

BTS from short film Kitty, shot beautifully by @immattscott_dop on the @no.9optics Taylor Hobson Vista Vision lenses paired with a Mini LF. For Matt, the enhanced close focus of these lenses was a real selling point.

"For 'Kitty' we really wanted to feel like we were in our main character's heightened world, so I knew I wanted to shoot large format and be able to get the camera really close to our actors, without having to use diopters. The Pancros have always been a favorite lens of mine so the Taylor Hobsons were the obvious choice to get the look of the older Pancros on full frame and with the amazing improvements in close focus from the No. 9 Optics housings."

Coming soon 👀👀

*NEW*

Richard Gale Clavius FF lenses now available for hire 🎬

At the heart of the Clavius set is a true icon: the legendary vintage Russian 58mm f2 Helios, beloved for its dreamy swirly bokeh and bold, flaring personality. In this set, it’s beautifully rehoused — and serves as the optical soul of the 28mm, 38mm, and 88mm, each built around that same Helios magic by Richard Gale Optics.

All four lenses share that signature look, with interchangeable aperture inserts for anamorphic-style bokeh while keeping the ease of spherical shooting. Finished with smooth long-throw focus, true internal focus, 95mm fronts, and PL mounts — it’s vintage character, refined for modern cinema.

The @no.9optics Taylor Hobson VistaVision lenses were used recently on a commercial for Edelweiss Pianos. For Cinematographer @jakobcizic , they were the natural choice for this project.

"I’d been speaking with Eddie at @no.9optics for some time about the Taylor Hobson Vista Primes, and had the chance to test a couple of focal lengths while the set was still being completed. I fell for them immediately.

At the heart of this film is the relationship between a grandson and his grandfather, with the piano acting as a conduit for their connection. Visually, it needed to carry a sense of nostalgia while still feeling contemporary.

The Taylor Hobsons felt like an obvious choice. Their modern housing and engineering give them the reliability and performance of contemporary lenses, yet they retain the character and idiosyncrasies you associate with vintage TH or early Cooke glass. Those qualities become more pronounced as you open them up, but they never tip into feeling overly soft—there’s a reassuring consistency across the set, even wide open.

Although the final delivery was 16:9, we shot in 4:3, and the images in that format are stunning.

I’m already looking forward to working with them again very soon."

International Women’s Day x Swim Sistas 🌊

"Dimming someone else's light doesn't make yours shine any brighter. But imagine what the world would be like if we all just lit each other’s lights."

For International Women’s Day, we reunited with the crew of the award-winning documentary @swimsistasfilm and director @catherinejoywhite, along with some new friends, to talk about the women who raised us, the icons who paved the way, and the power of community in the water.

From Olympic trailblazers like @alicedearingx to those finding their stroke at 54, these women are reclaiming space and changing the narrative of who belongs in the waves.

We are proud to support this poetic love letter to the water through the Dryrobe® Warmth Project.
