Hawk V-Lite
Prime - 2x Anamorphic - Super 35
product details
Small and robust, Hawk VโLite 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 โ smaller than many commonly used spherical primes โ 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.

About the Hawk V-Lite Anamorphic Cinema Lenses
The Hawk V-Lite lenses are a 2x anamorphic cinema lens series known for delivering classic anamorphic characteristics in a compact, lightweight form factor. Designed for Super 35 capture, they combine strong optical performance with portability, making them well suited for handheld, Steadicam, and gimbal-based production without sacrificing the signature Hawk look.
V-Lites produce the defining traits of anamorphic cinematography, including oval bokeh, horizontal flares, and a natural, immersive sense of depth. At the same time, they maintain high contrast, controlled chromatic aberration, and minimal distortion, resulting in a clean yet expressive image. With consistent T-stops across the set, reliable mechanics, and a range of focal lengths from wide to telephotoโincluding a close-focus 55mm macroโthe V-Lite series offers a flexible solution for productions that need both anamorphic character and practical usability on set.
Image Fidelity & Focus
Despite their smaller sizeโtypically around 1.9 kg eachโthe V-Lites maintain exceptional optical performance, with sharpness across the frame, well-controlled chromatic aberration, and a smooth focus roll-off.
Flare & Bokeh
These lenses produce classic oval bokeh, horizontal lens flares, and the pleasing distortion that cinematographers prize for widescreen storytelling.
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.
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.
