Innovative optics are designed to give maximum performance at full aperture, producing outstanding imaging with both film and digital cameras with controlled flare and low residual aberrations.

Our Academy Award® winning cam-style focus movement, coupled with the benefit of a suitably large lens barrel diameter, allows for an increased number of focus markings, particularly at close focus. A four-point contact bearing also provides a smooth positive backlash-free movement.

Accessible via a cable connector near the lens mount and synchronises with /i compatible cameras and accessories. The electronics board has also been resized and repositioned for ease of serviceability.

The majority of S8/i FF lenses have a common fixed front diameter of 104mm, with a focus drive gear of 140T x 0.8 mod and an iris drive gear of 134T x 0.8.

The new S8/i range features a nine-leaf linear module iris assembly, which creates our trademark smooth, round bokeh.

Every Cooke lens is coated with a scratch resistant PTFE hard anodised finish, which provides a durable, hard-wearing surface to meet the most demanding environmental conditions.

Cooke S8/i lenses have a maximum aperture of T1.4 across the majority of the lens lineup.

Every focus mark is individually calibrated and engraved on both sides of the focus barrel for ease of use.

The lenses are designed for all shooting applications, including handheld and Steadicam, providing a comfortable balance ratio with the latest digital cinema cameras.

To ensure compatibility with other Cooke lenses, the entire new S8/i FF range is colour balanced and colour matched for uniformity.

We offer a choice of PL and LPL camera mount options, designed specifically for use with our new lenses.

Our new S8/i FF lenses are built to be tough, robust and work in the most demanding environments. They are extremely reliable and designed to be easily serviced and maintained for the very minimum of downtime.
