Panavision, Inc. Film Cinematic Movie Cameras XL2

The Millennium XL2 is the latest realization of Panavision’s history of excellence in 35mm film camera design. Thanks to the suggestions of camera crews and directors, the Millennium XL2 has faster speeds, better video, improved ergonomics, and streamlined mechanics. This lightweight, sync-sound camera easily converts from studio mode to hand held or Steadicam mode. It is compatible with all Panavision 35mm film lenses (spherical and anamorphic) and all standard accessories. It also accepts the Millennium 400 foot and 1000 foot lightweight composite magazines, which may be top- or rear-mounted for studio or handheld configurations. Like the Millennium, the optical viewfinder of the XL2 is completely detachable for quick conversion to Steadicam mode or remote crane operation. It features the standard Panaglow® illuminated frame lines found on all Panavision cameras and also contains an adjustment for Panaglow brightness. The camera includes a short viewfinder for handheld and a telescoping viewfinder for studio mode. Image size, focus, and brightness remain consistent throughout the entire range of the telescoping viewfinder, which also contains the standard image magnifier found on other Panavision medium and long eyepieces. Panavision offers a wide variety of ground glasses for the XL2 in virtually every format (anamorphic or spherical), including Super 35. The XL2 is available in 3-Perf® or 4-perf configurations to enable significant savings in the film costs without compromising image quality.
