QuickHitRecord Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It is a legit Panavision [i]projection[/i] lens, not a Panavision [i]cine[/i] lens. This is the one to get excited about: [img]http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/primo1.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McC Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 QuickHitRecord: Yeah! Now I am excited! Does anyone know how much it is to rent a Panavision Anamorphic (per day)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 around 600gbp a day for the big boys from what i recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim McC Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Tony Wilson: After doing some research, I would be inclined to agree. There's an interesting discussion from a year ago on the Vimeo forum: [url="http://vimeo.com/groups/anamorphic/forum/topic:236632"]http://vimeo.com/groups/anamorphic/forum/topic:236632[/url] Riot Unit has the same lens, and it looks nice, but yes, appears to be not especially different from a Sankor. Nice flares, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 i am just passing on the gospel according to stan. panavision optics where made by hand one at a time. this is just one of many rebadge sankors from japan a great lens yes but not worth more than 350 usd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim McC Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Well, it's news to me, so thanks for the info! I had heard that Panavision lenses were only rentals, never for sale anytime anywhere, but I'd never heard of the 16mm Superama version...

tony wilson Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 as i said cashing in on the name. some money guy gives panavision cash to use the name on home movie super 8 and 16mm anamorphics for projection. clearly on the basis of amateur use. no panavision design no hollywood glass no effort on panavisions part just money for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
