Macro and Specialty Lenses
Macro Lenses SM Series
These lenses are color and performance matched to Primo Primes. The focal lengths in this series of lenses ranges from 50mm to 200mm with maximum apertures ranging from T1.4 for the 50mm lens to T4 for the 200mm lens. Close focusing distances range from 9 inches to 27 inches. The 90mm macro focuses through normal magnification ratios to macro and down to micro [where image on film or sensor is larger than life-size]
Panavision® Frazier Lens System - FLS
The Frazier Lens System with its unique “swivel tip” allows for panning, tilting, Dutch head movements and rotation about the optical axis (both through 360º, with unlimited global orientation) for a variety of taking lenses. With a simple turn of a follow-focus type knob, it produces a continual image rotation centered about the optical axis (through 360º) while the camera system remains stationary.
Extreme depth of field can be achieved with wide angle taking lenses attached, producing unusual shots of in focus objects placed anywhere from macro to infinity distances. Due to the
physical shape and movements provided by the system, lighting difficulties usually associated with close focus/macro objects are alleviated. Shots at ground level are also possible. Other features include internal filtration (glass and/or gels, and manual infinitely adjustable polarizer), capability to provide “dutch head” shots and the acceptance of bellow-less perspective control and slant focus lenses for the most unusual shots.
The system covers the Super 35mm format, has a maximum aperture of T7.1 and has dual focus and T-stop scales.
Special Purpose Lenses and Optical Accessories
Panavision builds many customer-requested spherical and anamorphic lenses—primes, zooms, projection/printer optics, etc. Also, special purpose one-of-a-kind lenses can be designed and developed by Panavision for specific applications / requirements. We have provided this level of customer service since 1954.
6mm T2.8 Fisheye Lens - SF6
This lens covers the Super 35mm format and fits on all Panaflex 35mm cameras. It has a close focus distance of 1 foot 6 inches and more than 180 degree filed of view. The lens accepts one internal 40.5mm glass filter and up to two gels or one manually rotatable 40.5mm glass filter.
6mm T3.5 Nikon Fisheye Lens - SPN6
This lens covers the TV safe action format only and fits on all Panaflex 35mm cameras. It has a close focus distance of 10 feet 6 inches and a 200 degree field of view. The lens accepts one internal 40.5mm glass filter.
Inclining / Low-angle Prism - IP3
A low angle prism will typically allow you to shoot only a few inches from the floor. In order for this lens to work properly the widest spherical lens that you may use is a 21mm and the widest anamorphic lens is the 35mm C Series or G Series. There is a ¼ stop loss when using the prism.
1.4x Primo Extender - 1.4XE
The extender mounts between the lens and the camera and allows you to increase the focal length range of the lens. When using the 1.4x extender you will have a 1 stop loss.
2x Lens Extender - 2XE
As stated above, the use of an extender increases the focal length range of the lens. When using the 2x extender you will have a 2 stop loss.
Series 2000 Century Precision Periscope - CV35II/CPPS2T
Although ideally suited for shooting miniatures and tabletop shots, the Century Precision Periscope can be used for other shooting situations. The periscope, which is a T4, provides improved image quality, good field illumination and reduced field curvature. The iris of the periscope gives you the control needed to minimize vignetting. It works with many Panavision lenses, has its own aperture readings directly in T-stops and works with standard follow focus units.
Innovision Probe II - IVP2
The Probe II provides excellent optics and allows you to shoot from a very low perspective. It features high resolution glass elements which give your excellent sharpness and great depth of field. The Probe II features 40.5mm drop in filtration and comes with six lenses, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 32mm and 40mm. Also included is a 45 degree prism attachment for the 16mm, 20mm and 32mm. The small diameter primes are ideal for tight spaces and macro magnification.
Revolving Zoom Mesmerizer - RZM
This is a Cooke 5-1 zoom lens with a maximum aperture of T4.8, that contains a motorized rotating anamorphic element.
Kish Front Anamorphic Mesmerizer - MES
A mesmerizer attachment for 75mm and longer prime lenses.
Low Distortion Wide Angle Adapter – SLWA
Wide-angle attachment for the Primo Close Focus 14.5 mm lens which converts it to 11.5mm.
Century Fisheye Adapter – CFA
An adapter for selected 16mm and 35mm prime lenses which will create severe distortion and exaggerated depth in the image.
Portrait Lenses
The portrait lenses provide a soft focus look around the edges of the frame, leaving the center of the frame sharp. There are eleven prime portrait lenses in focal lengths ranging from 14mm to 85mm, with close focusing distances ranging from 2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches and apertures of T1.4 to T3. There is one zoom portrait lens which is a 20-100mm with close focus of 2 feet six inches and an aperture of T3.1.
Flare Lenses
These popular lenses were created by Panavision for the movie “Saving Private Ryan”. Since then, these lenses have become a popular addition to Panavision’s library of specialty optics. There are nineteen prime flare lenses in focal lengths ranging from 14mm to 135mm, with close focusing distances ranging from 2 feet to 5 feet and apertures of T1.3 to T3.0. They are available with varying degree of effect from subtle to heavy. The coatings and special internal characteristics of these unique lenses contribute to the flare, and decreasing resolution, contrast and saturation.
Slant Focus Lenses
These are lenses that allow tilting of the focus plane in any direction before or during shooting. There is no change in perspective and the effect is similar to a split diopter but with no line to hide and continuous variable power. There are two slant focus lenses available, 24mm, T3.5 and 45mm T2.8. Close focusing distances are 12 inches for the 24mm and 16 inches for the 45mm.
Panavision/Century Swing Shift System - PVB
The swing shift system is a bellows lens system that allows for a variety of extreme lens movements including: swing, shift, tilt, rise and fall, macro focusing and beyond. It works with all Panavision mounted camera systems. An assortment of 12 lenses are available in focal lengths ranging from 14mm to 150mm and apertures from T2.8 to T4.5.
The Panavision/Century Swing Shift System is supplied with complimentary accessories. Check with Panavision for specific accessories.
