Their defining characteristic is a <strong>1.3x<\/strong> anamorphic squeeze factor \u2014 rather than the 2x of traditional anamorphics \u2014, which makes them a radically unique option: they produce the aspect ratio, oval bokeh, horizontal flare, and characteristic perspective of the anamorphic format, but with a depth of field, speed, and operational ease considerably superior to any equivalent focal length 2x anamorphic. They are the anamorphic lens for the cinematographer who wants the look without sacrificing practicality.<\/p>\n<p>With a constant aperture of <strong>T2.2<\/strong> across the full range, <strong>Super 35<\/strong> coverage, <strong>PL<\/strong> mount, and a <strong>9-blade<\/strong> iris for a soft, very organic oval bokeh, the Hawk V-Lites deliver elegant, well-defined blue horizontal <em>flares<\/em>, characteristic horizontal focus streaks, and a sharp, contrasty, three-dimensional image with the unmistakable visual texture of the anamorphic format. Their construction is extremely compact and lightweight for an anamorphic lens \u2014 hence the V-<em>Lite<\/em> designation \u2014, with a uniform <strong>95mm front diameter<\/strong> across the full set, making them an ideal option for Steadicam, handheld, and any configuration where weight and size are critical.
