andy lee Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 we are getting into almost Stanley Kubrick Zeiss Nasa lens speeds ......nearly ! I'm not sure how much they cost ...Hawk aren't cheap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2012 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!! Germy1979 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy lee Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 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!

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2012 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. http://vimeo.com/38339934 The more lenses like these Hawks, SLR Magics and Voigtlanders we filmmakers get, the more creative for all concerned.
