the most high-aperture lens in the history of photography

Once arguing about the tangible difference of two fifty-fifty, I became interested, what is the most high-aperture? So, the most high-aperture lens in the history of photography is Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f / 0.7. It was designed and made specifically for the American lunar program Apollo for shooting the dark side of the moon, according to the drawings of the night vision device for Nazi guns.



Stanley Kubrick used these lenses when shooting his Barry Lyndon film. What allowed him to shoot scenes only by candlelight. The lens was also used in the filming of films such as Schindler's List, The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love.

Just Stanley Kubrick and his three lenses are one of the points of the theory of the "lunar conspiracy", allegedly Kubrick is the author of the video of the landing on the moon.
There are only 10 such lenses, one is for Carl Zeiss, six are for NASA, and three were for Kubrick.
