Engineered by Vantage Film, this set infuses the highly reliable, compact, and optically advanced V-Lite/V-Series mechanical platforms with a bespoke optical coating modification. This modification replicates the iconic low-contrast, warm, flare-heavy aesthetic of 1970s cinema without sacrificing modern mechanical reliability or sharpness.

Key Features:

Bespoke Vintage ’74 Optical Coating: Delivers distinctive, enhanced organic flares, classic blue/amber streaks, and a gentle reduction in overall contrast for a cinematic, nostalgic look straight out of the camera.
True 2x Anamorphic Squeeze: Utilizes a front-cylindrical anamorphic design to provide authentic oval bokeh, specialized depth-of-field characteristics, and classic cinematic perspective compression.
Uniformly Compact V-Lite Form Factor: The core focal lengths share standardized front diameters and gear placements, enabling rapid lens changes on set without shifting matte boxes or follow focus motors.
Robust mechanical design: Features rock-solid, highly precise internal mechanics that hold up under harsh production environments, contrasting with finicky true vintage housings.
Extended Telephoto Reach: The included Hawk V-Series 180mm T3 seamlessly color-matches the Vintage ’74 set, offering a powerful telephoto solution for close-ups and compression-heavy shots.
Optimized Wide-Angle Coverage: The 28mm focal length provides an ultra-wide anamorphic field of view with controlled distortion, a rarity for vintage-style glass.
