The Hawk guys are at Camerimage introducing an eye-popping set of new spherical T1 prime lenses called Vantage One. T1!
There are nine Vantage One lenses in the set: 17.5, 21, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 90 and 120 mm, all T1, and all close-focusing.

Holy s*** This is going on the front page. Great find Andy!!

we are getting into almost Stanley Kubrick Zeiss Nasa lens speeds ......nearly !
I'm not sure how much they cost ...Hawk aren't cheap!!

They're great rental options for a special shoot though. More than anything I just love the whole philosophy behind the lenses. Whilst the corporations are making everything perfectly sharp, contrasty and clinical these guys are producing artisan cinema lenses with a 'dreamy' wide open look and two coatings, one for a low contrast and higher levels of flare. MUCH NEEDED!!

amen.

Im sure wide open they look very arty with such a narrow dof
and the flare option by having an uncoated version is great
start pointing those at 1000watt lamps on set and they will look amazing!

I really need to get out and shoot properly with my FS100 and SLR Magic T0.95. Did a very brief test at 3am and it looked great but yet to shoot in anger with it. The SLR Magic T0.95 is a good option for anamorphic too, I shot this with it on the GH2 a few months ago.



The more lenses like these Hawks, SLR Magics and Voigtlanders we filmmakers get, the more creative for all concerned.
