[Frameworks] Zoom lens and camera used for "Wavelength"

[nicky.hamlyn at talktalk.net]

Probably combined with an Arri BL, which was the ubiquitous camera that went with the lens, as used by TV news crews all over the place, and certainly by the BBC, before they switched to the Arri SR with Zeiss Distagon lenses in the mid 1980s,

Nicky.

In the early seventies, the 12-120 was the lens to have, and all of the
TV guys were desperate for the things because they had such a huge range
of focal lengths.  They were ubiquitous for a good while, but they really
weren't very sharp.

Angenieux made hundreds of different lenses back then... and some of them
were better than others but if someone said "french zoom" your first
thought was probably that 12-120.
