A number of DoPs said they shot nearly the whole commercial with the lens because it proved to be so versatile.<br> <br> Here are some of their comments:</p> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="" border="0"> <tr> <td><img src="/img/v1/news/news_2005-01_18_02.jpg" alt="TOMÁŠ SYSEL" width="239" height="156" border="0" vspace="2"><br> <br></td> <td rowspan="4"> </td> <td valign="top"><p><b>TOMÁŠ SYSEL</b><br> Highly compatible lens, ideal for very tight space, with precise focal distance setting. In comparison with other wide‑angle lenses it offers an incredible extent of adjustable scale and additional zooming range.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the new HAWK 10-24 in all respects, from its brilliant sharpness to its superb working speed. With its iris shutter consisting of 10 plates it stands out as a revolutionary wide‑angle zoom that will certainly help me realize my ideas.</p> <br></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><img src="/img/v1/news/news_2005-01_18_05.jpg" alt="MARTIN MATIÁŠEK" width="239" height="156" border="0" vspace="2"></td> <td valign="top"><p><b>MARTIN MATIÁŠEK</b><br> The new spherical Hawk Super Wide Angle Zoom Lens excels with a much wider range than other contemporary lenses and therefore offers much better flexibility in capturing the images of our stories. What is more, it doesn't force you to switch between at least five lenses, yet provides the same quality as any whole set of spherical lenses in the scale between 10mm and 24mm, which saved us a lot of time and energy on our productions. Plus, you can shoot wide open in the whole range of the zoom scale without loosing any resolution and sharpness.
