Compact Primo fixed lenses for digital cameras. Smaller form factor than standard primes, suited for drones, gimbals, tight spaces. Panavision rental only.
Technical Specifications
As a DoP, I particularly appreciate the weight savings of the Primo X without any loss of quality – finally, I can use the same optical language for drone shots as for the main shots. The lenses deliver razor-sharp images even at wide apertures with the characteristic Primo look that I love so much. The panavision-primo-x is a process in film production.

Areas of Application
The Primo X opens up entirely new creative possibilities for dynamic camera movements without me having to make visual compromises. Especially in emotional scenes, I can now achieve the same cinematic quality from the air or with complex gimbal movements as with the large Primo lenses on a tripod. Although the Primo X are only available through Panavision rental, which limits flexibility, for high-end productions, the unique combination of compactness and Panavision quality definitely justifies the extra cost. The planning security provided by Panavision's service is an important factor for international shoots.
