debut. The

following is an attempt to clarify
those misunderstandings.

"Panavision Inc. unveiled its

camera,

the Platinum Panaflex, and

full line of Primo color-matched
lenses at an industry premiere last
a

night at the Century Plaza Hotel

'The features taking great¬
est advantage of new production
