The Cooke Panchro/i Classic set (32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 100mm, 135mm, 152mm) is a modern redesign of the legendary vintage Speed Panchro optics. These lenses are engineered to provide the beloved “Cooke Look”—characterized by warm, natural skin tones and a gentle focus fall-off—while meeting the mechanical demands of contemporary digital cinematography. Unlike vintage sets that require rehousing, the Panchro/i Classics come with standardized 0.8 MOD gears, a robust PL mount, and integrated Cooke /i Technology, which captures vital lens metadata (like iris and focus position) frame-by-frame for use in post-production and VFX.
Key Features:
The Iconic “Cooke Look”: Retains the organic, soulful rendering of the original 1920s-1950s Speed Panchros with modern contrast and resolution.
Integrated /i Technology: Provides a digital interface for capturing real-time lens metadata, essential for complex visual effects and efficient editing.
Matched Color and Character: Every lens in this 6-piece set is precision-matched to ensure seamless intercutting between different focal lengths.
Modern Mechanical Design: Features standardized focus and iris gear positions across the set for rapid lens changes with wireless F/I/Z systems.
Super 35mm Coverage: Optimized for Super 35 digital sensors, offering a classic field of view that has defined cinema for decades.
Fast Apertures: Most lenses in the set offer a T2.2 to T2.8 aperture, providing excellent shallow depth-of-field control and low-light performance.
