The Cooke Panchro/i Classic lenses are a modern re-design of the legendary vintage Cooke Speed Panchro lenses from the 1920s. They combine the sought-after “Cooke Look” with the convenience and durability of modern lens manufacturing.
Key Features and Benefits

Vintage Aesthetic: Recreates the same classic, warm, and subtle rendering of the original Speed Panchros. They are known for producing a gentle, pleasing image with a painterly quality, especially with skin tones.
/i Technology: Equipped with Cooke’s award-winning /i Technology, which provides frame-by-frame lens metadata to compatible cameras. This data includes focal length, aperture, focus distance, and depth-of-field, which streamlines post-production workflows and is crucial for VFX and virtual production.
Modern Construction: Housed in durable, contemporary bodies with a hardened PL mount, providing reliability and consistency that vintage lenses often lack. All lenses in the series have a common 110mm front diameter and standardized 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears for easy swapping on set.
Color Matched: All lenses in the series are precisely color-balanced and color-matched to ensure a consistent look across the entire set. They are also color-matched with other modern Cooke lens series, such as the S4/i, S7/i, and Anamorphic/i.Cinematic Bokeh: Feature a nine-blade iris that creates a smooth, cinematic bokeh (out-of-focus highlights).
Optical Performance: Designed to perform well at full aperture with superior control of flare, distortion, and spherical aberration, while still retaining the vintage character.
