COOKE S8/I FF 35MM PRIME SINGLE LENS

The Cooke S8/i FF 35mm Prime is a flagship high-speed cinema lens designed for the demands of modern full-frame digital cinematography. As part of the S8/i series, this 35mm lens evolves the legendary “Cooke Look” by prioritizing optimized contrast performance and a fast T1.4 aperture across the entire range. Despite its high speed, it is engineered to be approximately 25% lighter than its S7/i predecessors, making it ideal for handheld, Steadicam, and drone applications.

Key Features:

Aperture Range (T1.4–T22): Offers exceptional low-light performance and extreme depth-of-field control for an organic, film-like aesthetic.
Full Frame Plus Coverage: Covers an image circle of 46.3mm, ensuring compatibility with the latest large-format sensors like the ARRI Alexa LF and Sony VENICE.
All-Spherical Design: Utilizes only spherical elements to produce smooth, natural bokeh without “onion ring” artifacts.
Advanced /i Technology: Transmits critical metadata—including focus, iris, and inertial data—to the camera for streamlined VFX and post-production workflows.
Precision Mechanics: Features an Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement with 270° of rotation and dual calibrated scales (Metric/Imperial) for accurate pulling.
Uniform Design: Shares a consistent 104mm front diameter and gear positions with other lenses in the set, allowing for rapid swaps on set.
Color Matching: Professionally balanced to match the profiles of S4/i, S5/i, and Anamorphic/i series lenses for seamless intercutting.
