^ Those box lenses are a masterpiece of craftsmanship. And the tech hasn't changed much, other than implementing microprocessor-based controls and communication. The quality of the glass (and, specifically, the grinding and polishing process) is better these days, but the mechanics are unchanged.

The cameras themselves, those are a lot different nowadays. Most studio cameras are barely larger than the optical block itself. Just enough space behind the prisms to house a power supply and a few ASICs. And once you set them up, the colors and alignment pretty much never drift. I very much do NOT miss working on analog cameras...

In other news:

Imagine dying because you tried to jerk off a bull and collect his semen, but he wrapped his tail around a light pole--with a short-circuit--during ecstasy and you were electrocuted.
