ABSTRACT
Panavision have taken the production of their version of the camera very seriously. At first glance it might seem to be the basic Sony camera with a clever lens and a few film style bits and pieces, but this is very far from the case. Figure 29.1 shows a Panavision camera built up with a 4:1 zoom, follow
focus, etc. The original camera is shown as a pale image and all the Panavision parts are shown in their full density; from this you can see just how extensive are the modifications and the additional equipment that is available. The rig shown is far from the limit of the number of accessories that you
might choose to add to the camera, such as on-board monitors, electronic zoom controls, scale illumination light and many other helpful parts which may be fitted.
