These lenses feature high contrast and resolution, low lateral color, negligible veiling glare, low ghosting and distortion, and consistent image quality throughout focus and zoom. Designed and manufactured by Panavision® with digital in mind. Digital cinematography lenses have to compensate for the reduced size of the CCD image. At only 11mm in diagonal length, as compared to 27.5mm for 35mm film, the ⅔ inch CCD requires 2.5 times more horizontal magnification. This meant that Panavision® had to design lenses with 2.5 times the performance of the best film lenses.
