Hello :)

 

Was there ever a Super 8 Panflex made?

 

Thanks.

 

Hi Matthew

No Panavision did not make any 8mm they did make a 16mm version called the Elaine

Panavision never sold cameras they only rented them out

 

 

Regards

After all they only made 6 Elaines and of those 1 remains stolen.

Where did you hear this? I don't really have any information to the contrary, but these cameras do get used quite a bit. If they only have 5 that leaves them very little wiggle room if a few are out at one time and they have a problem with one. It just doesn't sound right to me....

And really the only reason why they made the Elaine was to capitalize off of students who wanted to use them. It's a good substute for a CP-16 or Arri 16BL for film students. After all they only made 6 Elaines and of those 1 remains stolen.

 

I've heard of that camera. Have they become that well known with only 6 having ever been made?
