"Lense" is an accepted variant of lens. Either way, they've been making stuff up for a century now.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it a prescriptive issue? Does anyone have the etymology of the spelling variants?

Oh, for the....
I suppose if the spelling is an acceptable variant, but still....
t head explodes

The actual jargon doesn't bother me. Those words are actually used by people in the craft when speaking about it. I know of no one who uses "pic," "lens," or "ankle," in conversation.

I was wondering about this for the variant spelling, and whether their source for the variant is Variety itself. Which would just make my head explode all over again.

Hey, I get crap for my spelling a reasonable amount when I'm not actually wrong, just outside the mainstream. It's a thing. Proactively, "learnt" and "et" are also real spellings.

Which words are "those words"? The link I provided includes lense and ankle. As well as words like biopic that I have heard people use, although the pronunciation seems to be more of an issue than I'd have imagined.

I know of no one who uses "pic," "lens," or "ankle," in conversation.
I use all of these, though I suspect my use of the word "ankle" means something else.

Oh, they include a lot of jargon in their glossary -- AD, DP, things like that. I was terribly vague, wasn't I.
And yes, I guess I shouldn't get bent out of shape over actual variant spellings. And I've used both "leanrt" and "et," in covnersation, so I definitely can't get too harsh about variants.

Again, I am shamed for my vagueness. I've used all of those words, too, just not the way Variety uses them.

They claim they made all those up too, though.
