I'm absolutely blown away by this, The fact that a 102 year old lens can produce a much better image than many current lenses.

I wouldn't call it better, it just has a unique look. You would never use this lens unless you were going for a vey specific look. Cosmetically, the image has many flaws, but that's what makes it so cool.

I'm calling BS that there was "no color correction or post" done. The variation in vignette, and the look of the color (look at the shots of the flowers in the field, and then the girl running through the grass).

There is simply too much variation in the footage for a non zooming, fixed aperture lens... There had to be something done to the footage.

The lens isn't fixed aperture. This is from his blog:

"When open, flaring is more apparent, thats nothing new, but it changes as you stop down. At wide open, F5, nothing is particularly sharp, and there is almost no contrast. Stop down to a F8, and suddenly its a new lens. Razor sharp, contrasty, and beautiful. Come down to an F11 or F16 and its suddenly hazy and soft again but this time with a far more pronounced vignette"

He talks about aperture 2/3 of the way down
