How do you choose the right lens for a film? For cinematographer Rachel Clark BSC, it meant testing everything—a lot of testing. In this moment from the "Guiding Images from Concept to the Screen" panel at Camerimage, she shares how flares, headlamps, and persistence led her back to a classic choice.

📍 Full panel discussion available on the Panavision channel.
🎥 Filmed at Camerimage International Film Festival.
