According to IMDB "Snow White and the Huntsmen" shot Red Epic, Panavision E- and G-Series Lenses (some shots: Ireland surf unit)

Can you rent/buy Panavision glass for use on the Epic?
 
David,

You are too good. :)
 
What glass do Panavision use for these lenses ? I had always thought hey used Leica and Nikon for many of their lenses ?
 
Here I was thinking Panavision was making their own glass. They are not glass makers themselves but more opticians who rehouse others glass?
 
They do more than rehouse glass, they are probably doing some of the grinding and polishing, but either way, ever since the Primo line in the 1980's, they have designed their optics from the ground up rather than adapt other elements of other lenses to their own elements. Even with their older anamorphic lenses, they probably made the anamorphic elements in-house. I don't know their deal with Leitz in terms of whether Leitz is making elements to their specifications, etc.
