PANAFLEX - BEST IN THE WORLD!
If you want to know about big league cameras, you must know about Panavision! Read it from cover to cover and suck up the information. If you plan to compete with the big boy (and big girl) camera assistants and operators, you MUST know this stuff kids! Snatch it up or fall behind. Don't learn the hard way. I require all of my assistant to know this stuff.

Pana'ed to death
With lots of information and many handsome drawings, this is a good source for knowledge of the Panavision system. Undercutting its strength as a technical manual, however, is the irritating propensity of the author to take every available opportunity to convince us that Panaflexes are the best in the world at EVERYTHING (which any assistant who has spent time with...

Undercutting its strength as a technical manual, however, is the irritating propensity of the author to take every available opportunity to convince us that Panaflexes are the best in the world at EVERYTHING (which any assistant who has spent time with the other systems can tell you is bunk). What's needed here is more grit, less marketing.

This review is from: Panaflex User's Manual, Second Edition (Paperback)
This is a very useful and informative manual for cinematographers and production planners. The material is getting a bit dated, but the basic information is valuable and quite useable. Years ago as a UCLA film student,Panavison gave me a very detailed tour of their Tarzana facility by Tak Miyagashima (one of the company's founding group), something I've never forgotten. The quality,precision, and character of Panavison cameras makes today's high-tech, high-definition video cameras seem like junk.
