===Panavision and the 65/70 mm format=== {{main|Super Panavision 70|Ultra Panavision 70}} Panavision developed their own 65/70 mm system that was technically compatible and virtually identical to Todd-AO. Monikered as [[Super Panavision 70]], it used spherical lenses and the same 2.2:1 aspect ratio at 24 frames per second. Panavision also had another 65 mm system, [[Ultra Panavision 70]], which sprang from the [[MGM Camera 65]] system they helped develop for MGM that was used to film ''[[Raintree County (film)|Raintree County]]'' and ''[[Ben-Hur (1959 film)|Ben-Hur]]''. Both Ultra Panavision 70 and MGM Camera 65 employed an anamorphic lens with a 1.25x squeeze on a 65 mm negative (as opposed to 35 mm [[CinemaScope]] which used a 2Γ compression, or 8-perf, horizontally filmed 35 mm [[Technirama]] which used a 1.5Γ compression). When projected on a 70 mm print, a 1.25Γ anamorphic projection lens was used to decompress the image to an aspect ratio of 2.76:1, one of the widest ever used in commercial cinema.
