  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

For my taste Hawk make too perfect lenses. I love anamorphic for anamorphic looks like lens flare, breathe, strange out of focus area (top and bottom) like in first Alien or in Bladerunner or old Solaris (Tarkovski Jusov and Lomo :))

I absolutely agree with You Pawel.
 
The RPAs maybe still on that roadmap since the electronic lenses aren't on there either...

Yeah we are sure looking forward to the upcoming RPA's but the Hawk's are fantastic glass, and seriously considering the redesigned, sharper,
lighter, and better marked Hawk V-Plus Series, for our Film, if we don't go 3D... ;)

shooting on anamorphic is on my top wish list. it has the nice old filmy look with the extreme sharpness of the digital.

Hi Brandon
Sure...I will post some jpg's here and drop some r3d for any interested (I must find good place in the net).
I saw (and work with) some footage from Hawk (commercial on 35mm...not on RED) and these lenses are flare proof and almost no breathe, so I can feel anamorphic only in shape of bokeh and anamorphic specific deep of field.

I agree 100% about preferring the flawed anamorphic look. I feel that the imperfections give a sort of organic feel to the image which I really love.

I would love to see an r3d as I'm sure others here would too! Thanks Pawel. Looking forward to seeing it.

Tonight we are announcing the development of the RPAs (RED Pro Anamorphics). They will match color, optical quality and mechanical performance characteristics with their little brothers... the RPPs. The weight of the RPAs is expected to be within 1/2 pound of the RPPs.

Initial set will consist of:

35mm T2.4
50mm T2.4
85mm T2.4
100mm T2.4

A 25mm T2.4 is also being studied.

Delivery of the 4 lens set is expected by year's end... although you know the schedule drill.

Prices will be slightly higher than RPPs.

The quote was from early 2010, which is why people are wondering if these are still planned. As I mentionned in an earlier post, these are not on the roadmap, but who knows...

Red have said they would not be saying things ahead of time anymore, so maybe one day they'll pop up on the Red Store. I would like that and hopefuly would have the dough to aquire a set.

Cheers,
Damien
