Timur Civan, who is a Director of Photography for movies, came across the Wollensak 35mm F5.0 Cine-Velostigmat lens which was given to him by a Russian Friend. His Russian friend, who is a lens technician, found the 102 year old lens hidden inside another lens in some box of random parts.

After 6 hours of work, this Russian lens technician was able to fix the lens on a Canon 5D MK II and then Timur took it for a spin. Check out a couple of the pictures below:
