Yeah, I saw that a while back, Gord.... pretty amazing.
The funny part is, that lens is worth probably around 20 times as much as the camera body it's stuck on. My lenses are worth a lot more than my bodies, too... but not as much as that!
I'm guessing that Panavision put a Canon EF mount on that lens for him... since Panny lenses natively have either Panavision or PL mounts. Not sure how it could be made to work otherwise... I'm not aware of the existence of any kind of Panavision-to-EF adapter.
Interesting to note that real 35mm cine lenses (if properly Canon mounted)
will work on the 7D, but will
not work on the 5D. Well, that's not entirely true, they will
work but not completely cover the image area. The 7D's sensor is more akin to the size of a 35mm cine frame, so a cine lens
will cover that.
