Panaflex Platinum
- Platinum (1986) - The Panaflex Platinum is a sync-sound 35 mm motion picture camera, intended as the replacement for the Gold and Gold II series of cameras. It is capable of 4-36frame/s forward and reverse in 1/10-frame increments, and is crystal-controlled at all speeds. It has a focal-plane shutter which can be adjusted from 50-200° while the camera is running, either by an external control unit or manually turning a knob. While the movement remains essentially the same as the original Panaflex movement introduced in 1972, the Platinum's dual registration pins are "full-fitting" according to Panavision, implying a more precise grip on the film during exposure and thus greater sharpness.

Famous quotes containing the word platinum:
“Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
politeness,
You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
fern.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
