The Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7 is one of the largest relative aperture (fastest) lenses in the history of photography. [1] The lens was developed for the NASA Apollo lunar program in 1966. [2] [3] [4] It was rumored to have been made specifically to capture the far side of the Moon, but Zeiss themselves have said, "There is no evidence to support the myth." [5]

Stanley Kubrick used these lenses when shooting his film Barry Lyndon , which allowed him to shoot scenes lit only by candlelight. [6] [7]

In total there were only ten lenses made. One was kept by Carl Zeiss, six were sold to NASA, and three were sold to Kubrick. [1]
