There's an article at the link below about the Zeiss lenses Kubrick used in Barry Lyndon. From the article:
"There were were only 10 of these Zeiss lenses ever produced. Three are owned by Kubrick, six by NASA and one can be found at the German Movie Museum in Frankfurt."
Also a video describing the modification of the Mitchell BNC and the use of the Zeiss f 0.7 lens on it.
