There's an interesting showcase of Widelux documentary work from 1975 by Bruce Jackson in today's "Lens" blog in the New York Times--

Thanks for posting that David, very interesting.


Ps. I was watching Starman last night. In the 'making of' featurette Jeff Bridges was using a Widelux on set.

You should check out Jeff Bridges' book of photographs taken on various sets throughout his career if you can find it. It is sort of a compendium of the various books he would have printed after completing a film to give to people as a wrap gift. It's a pretty cool book and if I'm remembering it correctly, there's a couple of great photos from "Starman."
