Panavision, Inc. Film Cinematic Movie Cameras Platinum

The Panaflex Platinum has a long and proud history as a reliable, sync-sound quiet, 35mm film camera. It uses all Panavision 35mm lenses and accessories. Top- or rear-mountable 500 foot or 1000 foot film magazines are suitable for either studio or hand held configurations. The Platinum color corrected optical viewfinder -- one of the brightest viewfinders on any professional motion picture camera – features the standard Panaglow® illuminated frame lines found on all Panavision cameras. Viewfinders are available in short, intermediate, and long versions to enable both studio and hand held configurations. The intermediate and long viewfinders contain a 10X image magnifier for critical eye focus. Panavision offers a wide variety of ground glasses for the Platinum in virtually every format (anamorphic or spherical), including Super 35. The Platinum is available in, 2-perf, 3-Perf®, or 4-perf configurations to enable significant savings in film costs without compromising image quality. The camera has a crystal controlled speed range of 4-36 fps forward and reverse in 1/10 frame increments, along with a separate switch for 29.97 fps. A variable in-shot focal plane shutter range of 50-200 degrees, full-fitting dual registration pins, and dual pull down claws make this one of the quietest film cameras in the world. Sound levels range from less than 20dB with film to 16dB without film.
