Hanse Inno Tech Celere HS Uncoated lenses are a specialized version of the standard High Speed primes, designed specifically for cinematographers seeking a more “organic” or “analogue” aesthetic. By removing the anti-reflective coatings, these lenses allow for controlled light scattering and dramatic flare characteristics that modern digital sensors often lack.
Key Features & Benefits
Vintage Flare & Halation: Without coatings, the lenses produce pronounced, stylized flares and “milky” halation around bright light sources, ideal for dream sequences or period pieces.
Lowered Contrast: These lenses deliver a softer, lower-contrast image that can take the “digital edge” off modern high-resolution sensors, creating a more flattering look for skin tones.
Maintained Mechanics: They retain the exact same physical housing as the coated versions (1050g weight, uniform size), allowing them to be mixed and matched in the same set without rebalancing gimbals.
Fast T1.5 Aperture: Unlike many true vintage uncoated lenses, these maintain a high-speed T1.5 aperture, offering modern low-light performance with a classic look.
Consistent Color Science: Despite the increased flare, the underlying glass remains color-matched to the standard Celere HS line, ensuring a cohesive look across a production.
Large Format Readiness: They fully cover VistaVision and Full Frame sensors, providing a vintage character even on the largest modern 8K sensors.
