Anamorphic lenses from the analog age can be reused, and they offer cinematographers new design possibilities. The refurbishing of analog lenses at the Munich-based company is a sustainable production process, which is powered by in-house generated solar energy. \u201eBy rehousing, we extend the life span of a lens\u201d, says CEO Anna Piffl, who manages P+S Technik with Andreas Dasser. Thanks to digitization, lenses originally designed for use with a reflex system in film cameras can now be repurposed. \u201cFor the U.S. mystery series <em>Sleepy Hollow<\/em>, we developed new housings for the extreme lenses that were designed by Meyer G\u00f6rlitz back in 1924.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/MG_0721_color-Kopie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3483\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/MG_0721_color-Kopie-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/MG_0721_color-Kopie-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/MG_0721_color-Kopie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/MG_0721_color-Kopie-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/MG_0721_color-Kopie-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The renowned cine-equipment manufacturing company that was founded by Alfred Piffl acts as a resource for national as well international creatives who have special technical requirements. Its distinguished clientele ranges from Academy Award-winning Director of Photography Anthony Dodd Mantle to rental houses such as Panavision and Otto Nemenz International in Los Angeles. \u201cVintage lenses have character, which means they can shape an image, so they are becoming more popular\u201c, emphasizes Alfred Piffl. The demand for old lenses results from, on the one hand, the fact that modern cameras have similar sensors; while, on the other hand, older lenses can create images that possess a unique mood. \u201cA DoP who wants to create a certain impression with his images has only milliseconds to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Recycling-Spaene.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3484 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Recycling-Spaene-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Recycling-Spaene-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Recycling-Spaene-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Recycling-Spaene-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Recycling-Spaene-630x419.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/a>Designing a new housing that fits the requirements of the daily production routine is a complex\u00a0task. In their Munich-based plant, technicians first examine the condition of the lens to determine whether or not the glass can be reused. Scratches may need to be removed and oil that has leaked out of the old housing must be cleaned. In order to develop a design for the new housing, the lens must be taken apart and calibrated. The adaptation of the lens as well as the production of a new housing mechanism takes place in-house. \u201cThe individual parts for the housing are produced in our lathe and mill shop\u201d, explains the CEO. \u201cThe filings cut by the milling and threading machines are single-variety sorted and melted down again.\u201d Scrap metal, junk, and old parts are collected and separated for recycling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to keep production costs down and to streamline our efforts, we developed several categories of housings whose components are compatible with various lenses.\u201d The office, the assembly line, and the vast machine room are all powered by in-house generated renewables. \u201cOur photovoltaic installation generates from 30,000 to 35,000 kWh, which covers about a third of our energy consumption\u201d, says the company chief. On weekends, surplus renewable energy is fed back into the power grid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/HalleU\u0308berblick-Kopie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3485\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/HalleU\u0308berblick-Kopie-300x140.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/HalleU\u0308berblick-Kopie-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/HalleU\u0308berblick-Kopie-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/HalleU\u0308berblick-Kopie-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/HalleU\u0308berblick-Kopie-630x294.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/a>The packaging of lenses for shipment is also a sustainability issue at P+S Technik. \u201cWe are re-using the boxes in which the products were delivered \u2013 if they are stable enough for re-use.\u201d For padding, foam flocks made of compostable material are used.
