HAL 9000: How This Nikon Fisheye Lens Inspired Hollywood and Culture

There are lots of great stories about the Nikon 8mm f8 fisheye lens, but perhaps one of the most famous ones is how it became the critical part of HAL 9000 in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The vengeful supercomputer in the film was made with this exact lens put right into it.

A recent exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image in NY had the exact prop used to create the movie. And getting up close and personal with it is an experience all on its own. One would think that the lens is a lot bigger than you'd think, but in truth, it's relatively small. This is a testament to Nikon's engineering, as the lens could allegedly see behind itself. And if that's the case, what other eyes would you want a supercomputer to use?.
