The Cooke SP3 is a purpose-built prime lens series designed specifically for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It is based on the legendary Speed Panchro™ optical design, bringing the iconic “Cooke Look”—characterized by organic warmth, gentle focus fall-off, and high dimensionality—to modern digital sensors.
Key Features:
Focal Lengths: A comprehensive set including 18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm.
Fast Aperture: Consistent T2.4 maximum aperture across the entire range for uniform exposure.
Interchangeable Mounts: User-changeable mount system supporting Sony E (fitted), Canon RF, Leica L, and Leica M.
Full-Frame Coverage: Optimized for a 43.3mm image circle, covering full-frame and Super35 sensors.
Matched Mechanics: Standardized 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears with shared positions across the set for rapid lens swaps.
Lightweight Build: Compact, anodized aluminum shells designed for drones, gimbals (like the Ronin 4D), and handheld rigs.
Benefits for Filmmakers
Emotional Rendering: Combines modern resolution with a “human” aesthetic that renders skin tones naturally and avoids the clinical sharpness of some digital lenses.
Creative Focus Control: Features a non-linear focus scale for precise adjustments at close distances and smooth, round bokeh from a 9-blade iris.
Dynamic Dimensionality: Provides a sharp center with a signature “roll-off” toward the edges, mimicking how the human eye perceives depth.
Seamless Integration: Perfectly color-matched to the Cooke Panchro/i Classic series, making them ideal “B-camera” lenses for larger productions.
Future-Proof: Capable of resolving detail for 8K sensors and beyond.
cost: 19,900 EURO
