I am a huge fan of Dog Schidt Optiks. The strange optical artifacts and unique flaring gives these lenses character. And most of these artifacts are incredibly hard to replicate in post which makes them just that more interesting. If you look at a video like Richard Gale’s festival of 50mm lenses you get a good sense of what this is all about.

Lens flares? They are kind of the joke in VFX. Never the less they happen. Every lens if different.
