I'm looking at anamorphic for the flares as well as the wide screen. I like the older anamorphic look. The Hawks are nice, but very clean and I've heard they show almost no flare. I know you can add their flare filter, but it's just not the same. I've also heard Hawk is coming out with a new Vintage 74 anamorphic, but I can't find any info on them. If they worked with 3 perf film then it might be exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm going to be directing a film early 2014. I want to shoot anamorphic. But to save on cost I know we'd need to shoot 3 perf film. I know that you can use the Hawk 1.3x squeeze lenses with 3 perf film. But nowhere nearby has the lenses and so it would be costly to have them shipped from Berlin. Also, I really like the look of the Panavision C Series lenses. Can 2x squeeze anamorphics be used with 3 perf film? I remember watching a Kodak video on youtube about the film 'Get Low' and at the bottom of the screen it said it was shot on 3 perf film and the director talked about using anamorphic lenses. I look it up on IMDB and it was shot on Pana lenses, but it doesn't seem to say anything about 3 perf film. Any info on this would be a great help. Thanks.
