Key Features:
The eight Hawk-V anamorphic primes — spanning 30mm through 135mm — provide a comprehensive focal range covering wide-angle through medium telephoto perspectives, delivering a complete and versatile anamorphic prime system for virtually every production scenario.
The inclusion of the 45-230mm Hawk-V anamorphic zoom extends the system’s reach dramatically into long telephoto territory, providing an unmatched combination of prime optical purity and zoom operational flexibility within a single unified anamorphic system.
Vantage’s proprietary 2x anamorphic squeeze delivers the classic 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio natively in-camera across all nine lenses, ensuring a consistent and authentic scope aesthetic throughout the entire production without post-production desqueezing artifacts.
Each lens delivers Vantage’s signature oval bokeh, elegant horizontal flares, and warm three-dimensional rendering — with perfectly matched color rendition and anamorphic character across all eight primes and the zoom for a visually cohesive production identity.
A fast maximum aperture across the prime set delivers outstanding low-light performance and a beautifully shallow anamorphic depth of field, making the Hawk-V primes highly capable and versatile across a broad range of production lighting scenarios.
PL mount compatibility across all nine lenses ensures seamless integration with leading professional cinema cameras, including ARRI, RED, and Sony VENICE platforms, making the complete system fully operational within modern professional production ecosystems.
Engineered and manufactured in Germany by Vantage Film — one of the world’s most experienced and distinguished anamorphic lens specialists — every lens in the Hawk-V system reflects the precision craftsmanship and optical excellence of a company with decades of anamorphic expertise at the highest levels of international cinema production.
