The new medium telephoto lens Hawk 150 mm has a close focus of 1 m/31". Later the set will be extended by two new super wide angle primes and two extreme telephoto lenses which are in the calculation process at the moment.<br><br></li> <li><strong>Improved optics</strong> – Although the current Hawk lenses already show an exceptional good performance further improvements have been reached. The center of efforts was the capability to handle extreme high contrasts. The manufacturing process of the optical components has been further optimized in several aspects. The new lens set is fully matched to all other Hawk Anamorphics.<br><br></li> <li><strong>Analog & Digital</strong> – Vantage uses tele-centric designs for all Hawk V-Plus optics. These lenses perform equally on film and digital cameras.</li> </ul> <p class="download"><a href="/file/pdf/hawk_v_plus.pdf" target="_blank">Hawk® V-Plus Anamorphics - Flyer</a> - 782 kB</p>
