Panavision, Inc. Spherical Low Ratio Primo Zoom Motion Picture Cameras PNZT Series

Low Ratio Primo Zooms 60-125mm Primo Zoom -- PNZT Introduced in 2013, this set of Primo zooms incorporates the latest optical and mechanical design and fabrication techniques, such as aspheric surfaces and linear bearings. These three zooms cover a full range of focal lengths – with some overlap for flexibility – with performance equal to or surpassing most prime lenses. Lower ratios, modest apertures, and advanced aspheres provide superior imaging in a compact form factor. Multiple moving groups ensure consistent performance throughout the zoom and focus ranges and maintain constant aperture at all zoom and focus positions. The 15-40mm and 27-75mm lenses offer well controlled breathing throughout the zoom range with close focus rated at 2 feet. Their light weight and compact size make them well suited for handheld or Steadicam work. The 60-125mm lens rounds out the longer end of the series, with close focuses to 3 ½ feet and a macro magnification ratio of 1:7.
