They don’t just offer Arri and Sony cameras.
As part of their model they “Panavise” them, typically meaning they change the mount to
PV but they also accessorise it so that it fits into their ecosystem.
Early Arri conversions were called “PanArri”.
https://www.sanwa-group.com/en/service/ ... on/st.htmlConsider the Genesis vs the stock F35. Both are based on the Sony F35.
One of the reasons Panavision is so enduring is because of the way they accessorise and consider the function of a camera and the way a drama crew work with these cameras. It seems like a joke but Panavision have long had sunglasses holders as a mount accessory for the cage. Thinking about the way the camera works with a crew as well as the end result is in their DNA. It’s everything though, not just the lenses.
For PV to offer the Ursa Cine it means they would also have to panavise it. They don’t really rent stock Arri’s or Sony. They wouldn’t just rent a stock Ursa Cine either.
Given that PV only have film cameras in the 70mm size and are often forced to cross hire rental only Arri Alexa 65 bodies I would have thought the Ursa Cine 65 would be a good option for them.
It will come down to customers asking for it to make it worthwhile for them to go the R&D expense of panavising one.
