Panavision

Panavision PVintage Lenses

The PVintage series, introduced in 2013, rehouses glass elements from Panavision's Ultra Speed lenses (originally debuted in 1976) into modern barrels with a consistent 113mm front diameter. All lenses open wider than T2 and most focus down to 24 inches. The rehousing retains the soft, organic rendering of the original Ultra Speeds while standardizing size, weight, and front diameter across the set.
