The Cooke Panchro/i Classic FF set is a modern reimagining of the legendary Speed Panchro lenses from the 1920s. This set of 8 primes (21mm to 100mm) is engineered to cover Full Frame sensors while preserving the vintage “Cooke Look”. The set is designed for cinematographers who want the soul of vintage glass combined with the reliability of modern mechanics. Each lens is color-matched to the rest of the Cooke family, ensuring seamless intercutting. Most lenses in this series feature a fast T2.2 aperture, though the longer focal lengths like the 100mm (T2.6) and the 65mm Macro (T2.4) vary slightly to maintain optical performance.
Key Features:
Full Frame Coverage: Optimized for image circles up to 46.3mm, making them compatible with ARRI Alexa LF, Sony VENICE, and RED V-Raptor.
The “Cooke Look”: Provides a signature warmth and “smoothness” that flatters faces and handles highlights naturally without being overly clinical.
/i Technology: Built-in metadata sensors provide frame-by-frame data (focus, iris, and depth-of-field) to the camera, which is essential for modern VFX and virtual production.
Cam-Style Focus: Features Cooke’s Academy Award-winning focus mechanism for smooth, backlash-free movement and expanded focus scales for precision pulling.
Physical Consistency: Standardized 110mm front diameters and consistent gear positions across the set allow for rapid lens changes without moving follow-focus motors or matte boxes.
Macro Capability (65mm): The 65mm lens doubles as a macro prime, allowing for extreme close-ups without needing specialized adapters.
Cost: TBD
