Cooke S4/i lenses are a renowned series of professional cinema prime lenses, celebrated for their unique optical qualities and robust design. They are a staple in high-end film and television production, known for delivering the distinctive “Cooke Look.”

Key Features and Benefits:

The “Cooke Look”: The lenses produce a flattering, almost creamy image with a smooth, painterly falloff from sharp focus to blur (bokeh). This look is characterized by natural skin tones, pleasing warmth, and a subtle control of contrast.

Optical and Mechanical Excellence: The S4/i lenses are designed to perform at their best even at wide-open apertures (T2), with superior control of flare, distortion, and spherical aberration. Their cam-style focus mechanism provides a smooth, precise, and repeatable focus movement.

“/i” Technology: A key feature of the S4/i series is the integrated “/i” Technology, which transmits critical lens data (such as focal distance, aperture, and depth of field) to compatible cameras. This metadata is essential for modern post-production, visual effects (VFX), and virtual production workflows.

Color Matched: All lenses in the Cooke S4/i series are meticulously color-matched to ensure a consistent look and feel across different focal lengths, simplifying color grading and allowing for seamless intercutting of shots.

Super35 Coverage: These lenses are designed to cover the Super35 sensor format, a common size in digital cinema, making them a standard for many professional film cameras.
