ABOUT
65mm Cameras
Panavision® 65mm cameras use a 5 perforation pull-down, 65mm film and many of the same accessories used on the 35mm camera. It is the format of choice for classic 70mm movies such as “My Fair Lady”, "Lawrence of Arabia" and “West Side Story”. Most recently it was used for films such as “Far and Away”, “Hamlet” and “Inception.” The format is now used mostly for special effects and theme park exhibits. It uses the maximum negative area for highest possible widescreen image capture quality.
