COOKE PANCHRO/i CLASSIC 65mm MACRO

The Cooke Panchro/i Classic 65mm Macro is a specialized cinema prime that artfully recreates the legendary “Cooke Look” of the vintage Speed Panchro lenses within a modern, high-performance housing. Engineered to deliver a warm, organic aesthetic with gentle focus fall-off and exceptional skin tone rendering, this lens serves as a dual-purpose tool—functioning as both a standard 65mm prime and a high-magnification macro lens. Unlike many of its counterparts, the 65mm Macro offers an expanded image circle that covers Full Frame sensors, making it a versatile choice for large-format cinematography. With its integrated Cooke /i Technology, the lens provides vital metadata for VFX and post-production, all while maintaining the classic character that has defined cinema for nearly a century.

Key Features:
Macro Focus Capability: Allows for extreme close-up detail with a 1:1 reproduction ratio and a minimum focus distance of just 11.4 cm (4.5″) from the front of the lens.
Full Frame Coverage: Optimized for large-format digital sensors while remaining color-matched to the entire Panchro/i Classic and S4/i series.
Fast T2.4 Aperture: Provides a bright maximum aperture for shallow depth-of-field and consistent performance in low-light environments.
Integrated /i Technology: Transmits real-time lens metadata, including focus, iris, and depth-of-field data, directly to compatible cameras.
Classic “Cooke Look”: Delivers the famous vintage warmth, dimensional texture, and controlled aberrations of the 1920s Speed Panchros.
Robust Cinema Mechanics: Features the Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement and a standardized 110mm front diameter for rapid lens swaps.
9-Blade Linear Iris: Produces a natural, circular bokeh that remains pleasing even when the lens is stopped down.
