Panavision
The Panaflex Gold is a 35mm motion picture camera produced by Panavision, a company that manufactures equipment exclusively for rental to productions. Its near-silent operation and compatibility with Panavision's proprietary anamorphic and spherical lens systems made it a standard for Hollywood features from the 1980s onward. Christopher Nolan and many other directors continue to use Panavision equipment for productions shot on film.
“Nolan has used Panavision equipment throughout his career and is a documented advocate for shooting on film over digital; his cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema and Panavision have discussed their collaboration on Dunkirk (2017), Interstellar (2014), and subsequent productions.”
