A perfect combination of classic and modern anamorphic.

The Caldwell Chameleon feature the distinct vertical breathing, blue streak flares, and aberrations one would expect from the beloved anamorphics of the past, while also maintaining high contrast and resolution even when wide open.

The Chameleons were designed for modern cinematography, built compactly with universal weights and balance throughout the set. The 1.79x anamorphic squeeze ratio strikes a balance between the anamorphic look and maximal use of the latest digital camera’s sensor area.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of visionary filmmaker and our dear friend Norman Jewison.

Norman directed and produced some of the most memorable and socially important films during his career, including the original version of The Thomas Crown Affair, In the Heat of The Night, Moonstruck, The Cincinnati Kid, and The Hurricane. He also co-wrote the screenplay for Jesus Christ Superstar.

We have long admired and supported Norman’s work as founder of the Canadian Film Centre, driven by his commitment to advancing the art of filmmaking and bringing together the creative community in Canada.

We got quite the surprise under the tree this year. Our Hawk65 Vintage ’74 1.3 Anamorphic lenses have arrived! 🎄🎁

Designed for today’s increased sensor sizes, Hawk65 brings the elegant sweep of legacy 70mm anamorphic to modern large-format cameras. The Vintage ’74 aesthetic delivers soft, natural contrast and pleasing skin tones that work in harmony with the unique depth of field characteristics and other subtleties of large sensor imaging. Meanwhile, an ingenious patented Iris Shaping System produces bokeh similar to that of a 2x squeeze for classic anamorphic flavour.

Along with providing the Backlot, WFW supported this production with lighting, grip and power, camera and locations equipment.
