LOMO footage series
Iron Winter, 2025, 89min, by Kasimir Burgess
Shot on LOMO Classic '70 Std Speeds which survived -40°С (–40°F)! The crew behind endured below freezing temperatures, wolf territory, and iced gear to capture a story the world was about to lose...
Lenses used, in native housings(!):
OKS3-22-1 (22mm)
OKS 7-28-1 (28mm)
OKS 11-35-1 (35mm)
OKS 1-50-6 (50mm)
OKS 6-75-1 (75mm)
DP Benjamin Bryan
Director Kasimir Burgess
"Condensation was an issue on all of our lenses, drones included, just because it was so warm in our ger and so cold outside, sometimes minus 40 and lower...Wherever we point the camera, it’s like a painting. We had beautiful old Russian lenses that helped with a broken-down, distressed kind of look, not a crisp digital Canon look. There’s a grainy, impressionistic kind of feeling which felt right because the ger that we were filming in was hundreds of years old and the clothes they were wearing were so ripped and worn from sweat and bloodstains from all the work. It felt like we could mirror that to some degree."
- from “A Brutal Kind of Beauty” review by "Kasimir Burgess on His Visions du Réel-Premiering ‘Iron Winter’".
"This tension between old and new, between moving forward and holding onto the past, is the crux of the film. Shooting through older, slightly distressed lenses, cinematographer Benjamin Bryan drinks in the glorious landscape of timeless mountains and endless horizons...This is a process of initiation for the young man, a baptism of fire that may end up pushing him in the opposite direction. "

#'70s
Please welcome SOLID™ rehousing for LOMO Classic '70s Standard Speeds!
After four years of meticulous development, we've achieved the perfect balance of innovation yet staying within reasonable costs. Well-grounded things take time, and we refused to compromise.
It all now starts with teaser followed by reels revealing feature list and detailed animations, showcasing nerdy deep-dives into how rehousing is made. We aim for promos that teach, not exploit.
The result is what we proudly name Generation 2 housing — offering you revolutionary yet culminative feature-rich SOLID™ housing. Built to last long in harsh production environment, protecting your precious and fragile vintage optics.
It is a precise mechanical system with production tolerances / play compensation, impact and fall resistant. No wear even after high work runs, long no service life.
That’s based on who we are, a small but mighty team of three industry professionals:
— chief engineer with 45+ years designing cine gear;
— lens technician specializing on soviet cine lenses, who's handled enough lenses to know what truly works;
And a DоP with an eye for aesthetics and a brain for precision math and project analysis / check.
In short, SOLID™ was created by and for cinematographers, who demand more.
Which Std. Speed LOMOs of the 1970s for you to prepare to fit the housing:
18mm OKS5-18-1 f2.5
22mm 3-22-1 f2
