Big thanks to Rodney Charters, the DP of 24 amongst many other things for sending me this.
It’s brilliant and I want one!
It’s the brand new Canon 7d with a Pani 24 to 275 T2.8 no vignetting shooting at a frame rate of 23.976
How Jealous am I?!
Not sure my Zacuto tactical shooter will cope with this one!
The mounts used by Rodney were custom made by Panavision for DP Shane Hurlbut’s feature about Navy Seals.
Oh and here is an even BIGGER ONE! This a 135 to 420 T2.8
The support for the camera was custom made for Rodney by Panavision.

Canon 7D Specs Announced – RED Camera, Scarlet and EPIC
September 1, 2009 at 23:57[...] Rodney Charters attached a Panavision 24-275mm lens to the 7D. We will post the footage as soon as it is available. From: http://www.philipbloom.co.uk [...]

September 2, 2009 at 03:37Where did he get a PV to Canon FD adapter? More importantly, where can -we- get a PV or Arri PL to Canon FD adapter?
Spectacular shot, anyway. I second Gert.
paul
September 3, 2009 at 20:36Correction: Canon EF, nach.
Still curious about that adapter…

film really is transforming…
just out of curiosity how much would that lens set you back?
Paul Bryant
September 3, 2009 at 20:31I believe it rents for a little over a grand a day. And I don’t think you can own Panavision gear, only rent.

September 2, 2009 at 15:57I’ll ask the ultimate question: 5D mkII or 7D?
7D looks to excel in post, but will the crop frame be its downfall? And we know the 5D rocks, but converting in post takes time.
Look forward to your recommendations (probably once you’ve tested one out!)
Shane
September 8, 2009 at 20:01Crop frame as a downfall? Not quite.
The APS-C sensor is very close to super-35 film (APS-C = 22.3×14.89mm, S35 = 24.89x16mm). Full frame (36x24mm) is quite a bit larger. That Panny lens wouldn’t cover the whole FF sensor of a 5D.

September 8, 2009 at 22:49It’s a big deal having that sensor on the 7d for big film makers with BIG lenses

Bill
September 4, 2009 at 20:06I am confused, if this is an EF mount you could mount it on a 5D2 as well right?
pbloom
September 4, 2009 at 20:11EF goes on both 7d and 5d. EF-S only on 7d
Bill
September 5, 2009 at 03:34Sorry I thought I read on there that is was an EF mount, people have hacked EF-S to EF before though and if you are making a custom adapter anyways…
I am wondering is there is a technical reason to go EF-S or is it just because they had a 7D so they made it fit?
Thanks
Kevin Bjorke
September 13, 2009 at 00:44Those lenses are made for 35mm cine use, so they probably look great on the 7D (verrrry slightly smaller than a four-perf movie-film frame) versus the 5D (where they would surely vignette like crazy).
Here’s data on the top one: http://panavision.com/publish/2004/07/01/11to1.pdf

September 6, 2009 at 05:18Nice to see such giant lenses on an SLR cam, although I wonder what’s the use when the camera’s inappropriate sensor and processing renders PQ useless for serious TV production as it became clear from BBC’s white paper here: http://thebrownings.name/WHP034/pdf/WHP034-ADD39_Canon_5D_DSLR.pdf

May 10, 2010 at 16:13It’s all very well attaching pornographic lenses to the 7D, but what’s the ratio with a 1.6 crop sensor, I’m guessing you’d get around 45mm to 350mm which would be pointless for necessary wide angle shots. Nevertheless i’m certain the image quality will be quite sexy.

July 1, 2010 at 09:48So I’m considering getting a PL mount to put on my 5D so that I can put on Zeiss super speeds and other great cinema lenses. I’m wondering though whether I would get a lot of vignetting on the 5D. Perhaps I could only use lenses made for an FF sensor such as the RED Pro Primes? Also, would the back glass protrude too far into the camera so that the mirror would have to be removed?
Thanks in advance.
