product details

Small and robust, Hawk V‑Lite 2x anamorphic lenses deliver the signature look and reliability of Hawk anamorphic glass in a smaller package. The combination of their optical characteristics, user-friendliness, range of focal lengths and surprisingly small size – smaller than many commonly used spherical primes – has made them popular worldwide. Nine focal lengths range from 28mm to 140mm, including a 55mm T2.2 Macro with astonishing close focus. High contrast, with minimal distortion, Hawk V-Lites blend portability with the rich, immersive visual character that defines high-end anamorphic cinematography. Available for rental or sub-rental at Cine Visuals.

Hawk V-Lite

Image Fidelity & Focus

Despite their smaller size—typically around 1.9 kg each—the V-Lites maintain exceptional optical performance, with sharpness across the frame, well-controlled chromatic aberration, and a smooth focus roll-off.

Handling & Adaptability

Reduced weight and shorter barrel length make Hawk V-Lites ideal for handheld, Steadicam, and gimbal work, while still providing a consistent T-stop (often T2.2) across the range. Built with reliable mechanics, precise focus marks, and close-focus capability, the Hawk V-Lite series blends portability with the rich, immersive visual character that defines high-end anamorphic cinematography.

Flare & Bokeh

These lenses produce classic oval bokeh, horizontal lens flares, and the pleasing distortion that cinematographers prize for widescreen storytelling.

Image Circle

Super 35 coverage, with a front diameter of either 104mm (45, 55, 65, 80, 110, 140) or 120mm (28 and 35mm only).

Cinematic Heritage

Hawk revitalized the anamorphic format beginning three decades ago. The V-Lite 2X anamorphics were designed from the ground up, setting an industry standard.
