Primo Prime Lenses
Panavision’s Academy Award winning series of Primo Prime lenses combine high contrast and resolution, even field illumination, and negligible veiling glare, ghosting, and distortion. Primo lenses intercut seamlessly with other lenses in the Primo line, and are designed for use with film and digital cameras.
The standard (SL) series of Primo Prime lenses include focal lengths ranging from 10mm to 150mm with widest apertures of T1.9. Close focusing distances range from 2 feet to 5 feet 9 inches. All Primo Primes are compatible with the 1.4x Primo Extender which reduces your exposure by a full stop.
Primo Close Focus Lenses
Panavision offers a set of close focus prime lenses ranging from 14.5mm to 35mm, with widest apertures of T1.9 and close focusing distances ranging from 7 ½ inches to 11 inches. This can translate to close focus of 2 inches or less from the front of the lens. The Primo Close Focus 14.5mm is compatible with a Wide Angle Adapter to create an 11.5mm wide-angle lens.
