Would it be unfeasibly expensive to recreate those instruments in the way they were made a long time ago, and use those new but old-style instruments to shoot? Seems you wouldn't have to bother so much about post-production fiddling if you shot with instruments meant to respond to light in a certain way in the first place.

Well, yes and no.

On the one hand, there's not a lot of cause to try to manufacture photographic lenses by hand so there aren't really people doing it that way anymore. On the other hand there are still some old pieces kicking around as part of collections and whatnot, and I have heard that for certain productions directors will pay to get their hands on them.

It wouldn't be impossible, but it isn't practical. And it isn't something the majority of audiences actually want out of their movie-going experience, which is the larger issue. Times change and so do tastes and conventions.

NA but I guess more than anything I'm surprised that a Malick-type person or someone like that hasn't tried to do something like that.

Well I've seen production photos of modern directors using 1930's style cameras on set, but I don't think they've been used to shoot an entire movie since...well, the 50's probably. It's more of an artistic conceit that sometimes gets employed when someone is making a movie about Hollywood.

I think it was Ed Wood that purportedly had several scenes shot with older camera equipment, but that might just be an artistic quirk.
