Nikon and HAL 9000

HAL 9000

HAL 9000

Iconic All-Seeing Computer Eye HAL 9000 from the movie 'Space Odyssey 2001'taken Stanley Kubrick in 1968, was made on the basis of the lens Nippon kogaku japan Fish-eye-NIKKOR 1: 8 f = 8mm (more often appears under a more modern name Nikon Fisheye-Nikkor 8mm f / 8).

HAL 9000 is one of the most famous super villains in movies, especially among evil computers and other such artificial intelligences.

Fish-eye-NIKKOR 1: 8 f = 8mm

Rephrased the classic: "Go to the Nikon / Evil side, we have HAL 9000 and cookies."

    And the photos from him?

    Luminous pupils of robots always amused. Why do they emit light, although it should be the other way around? but it looks ominous (probably).

    • Jury

      really ominous, again, it is easy to show with the help of a luminous pupil how “life” leaves the robot under pressure :)

    • anonym

      Or maybe they work with infrared light? They emit in a wide range of the infrared spectrum (therefore partially glow in red) and process the reflected light. So you can see in complete darkness.

      • anonym

        And they don’t realize that we see this spectrum and how their eyes glow.

  • Denis

    the eyes of the Chinese would probably be blue

  • Sergei

    It is worth mentioning another lens, Zeiss 50mm f0.7, used by S. Kubrick when shooting scenes by candlelight in my favorite 1975 film by Barry Lyndon.

    • Oleg

      Some of the most unusual lenses

      • Oleg

        With this planar, they shot the back of the moon

    • Alexey

      Zeiss made an interesting lens in 1967. And what kind of mount does he have?

  • Oleg

    Nikon also has a 6mm fisheye and a viewing angle of 220 degrees. Who cares can be made to order, the price is 35000 dollars

  • Gene jb

    it's all nonsense. what for illuminate the inside of the face in a spacesuit of the latest films? he doesn’t see nichrome there

    • Alexey

      It's elementary to see the face of the protagonist.

  • sasa13e

    "HAL9000 does not want to harm human beings"

  • Charles

    Anthony Hopkins once said in an interview that he sculpted the image of Hannibal Lecter with HAL9000 :)
