On the one hand this optical imperfection is quite irritating, because it highly disturbs the impression of the images. On the other hand its technical look is appreciated as an additional design element especially where action movies and commercials are concerned.</p> <div class="obrLeft" style="float: left; width: 247px;"> <a href="/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_02_big.jpg" onclick="novy_obrazek('/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_02_big.jpg','No effect used',680,283); return false;"><img src="/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_02.jpg" alt="Picture - no effect used" title="Click for larger view in a new window" width="239" height="106" border="0" style="margin-right: 5px;"></a> <p class="popisobr">No effect used</p> <a href="/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_03_big.jpg" onclick="novy_obrazek('/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_03_big.jpg','Blue-Vision® Ultra Fine 1',680,283); return false;"><img src="/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_03.jpg" alt="Picture - Blue-Vision® Ultra Fine 1, perfect for shorter lenses at stops between T1.3 and 5.6" title="Click for larger view in a new window" width="239" height="106" border="0"></a> <p class="popisobr">Blue-Vision® Ultra Fine 1,<br>perfect for shorter lenses at stops<br>between T1.3 and 5.6</p> <a href="/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_04_big.jpg" onclick="novy_obrazek('/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_04_big.jpg','Blue-Vision® Medium 2',680,283); return false;"><img src="/img/v1/news/news_2005-09_01_04.jpg" alt="Picture - Blue-Vision® Medium 2, for longer lenses at stops between T1.3 and T2.8" title="Click for larger view in a new window" width="239" height="106" border="0"></a> <p class="popisobr">Blue-Vision® Medium 2,<br>for longer lenses at stops<br> between T1.3 and T2.8<br> <br></p> </div> <p style="margin-right: 8px;">The blue flare originates from an unfavourable optical construction and inadequate coating of the affected lenses. To allow cinematographers to create the blue flare in a controlled way, Vantage Film has developed the Blue-Vision® attachments. Used with the Hawk® Anamorphics which are otherwise completely free of those reflections, it allows to generate a very appealing flare.</p> <p style="margin-right: 8px;">The VANTAGE Blue-Vision® "patent pending" is available in two gradations <em>Ultra Fine 1</em> and <em>Medium 2</em> and covers a wide range of lenses. Though the blue flare can easily be attained with this product, Vantage generally recommend to properly test the effect in advance.</p> <p style="margin-right: 8px;">Both Blue-Vision® attachments are exactly tuned to the performance of the Hawk® Anamorphics and offer an especially convincing solution when combined with them. However, they can also be used with many spherical lenses of different manufacturers.
