Which Hawk series primes have front anamorphics?

Can't seem to find to answer to this on the website. Any know?

Hawk anamorphics sort of have the anamorphic elements mixed from the middle to the front as far as i know, making them harder to flare, but the point is that they aren't rear adapted sphericals. But I don't know if every anamorphic lens in their rental line is like that, it's not unusual to have make a few rear adapted anamorphics for specialty items (macros, telephotos, etc.)

Thanks, David. They have 2:1 zooms with front anamorphic design and I see they have V, V plus, V lite and C series primes so I wondered since I understand the mid ana design doesn't give the same image distortion - which I love.

Hawks still create the stretched bokeh at wide apertures, it's just hard to get the blue horizontal flare with them.
