Panalux company history timeline

1958

The Ultra Panavision 70 technology led to the 1958 unveiling of the 35mm-format Auto Panatar camera lenses, which eliminated the distortions created by early CinemaScope optics.

1968

One result was the introduction, in 1968, of C Series anamorphic primes, which immediately became a go-to choice for cinematographers looking for a compact and lightweight anamorphic lens.

1976

Keeping pace with the company’s advances in camera design, Panavision introduced the 35mm-format Super Speed lenses in 1976, followed closely by Ultra Speed primes.

1986

Panavision did a round on the IndyCar circuit with the company logo appearing on the car driven by motorsports legend Danny Ongais, aka the “Flyin’ Hawaiian” — including at the 1986 Indianapolis 500.

1992

Previously, in 1992, LEE Filters had become a Panavision company.

1997

The Panavision Millennium 35mm camera system, introduced in 1997.

1998

1998 – Technical Achievement Award

2001

2001 – Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development

In the years that followed, Panavision’s large-format technology supported the artistry behind classic films including Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

2007

Introduced in 2007, G Series anamorphics combined the compact convenience of the C Series with the optical innovations of Primo Anamorphic lenses.

2015

Panavision’s creative offerings became truly end-to-end in 2015 with the acquisition of post-production company Light Iron.

2016

2016 brought the introduction of Panavision’s T Series anamorphic lenses, which combine new optical layouts with mechanical advances from the G Series while offering a larger sweet spot and closer focusing than some of their predecessors.
