We began Vantage over twenty years ago because we knew we could do the job better. The same idea prompted us to begin designing custom accessories. We saw the need for better anamorphics, and when Vantage became a success, the money enabled us to begin designing the Hawks. We have continued to grow ever since because of our commitment to producing superb cine lenses.
Now we have twelve engineers in our research and development offices working on optics, lens mechanics, electronic devices, and video software. You can expect to see more of their work in the future.
On sets we equip, you can find lots of Hawk lenses and optics from any of the important lens manufacturers, including Angénieux, Bausch & Lomb, Canon, Century, Clairmont, Cooke, Kinoptik, Kowa, Leica, Nikon, Vantage, and Zeiss. When we started Vantage Film, we already knew something about lenses from our own shoots. Now we know a lot more.
