Cooke Introduces new Lenses to its S7/i and Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus Series

Cooke announces new focal lengths for its full-frame S7/i series (60mm macro, 90mm macro, 150mm macro, and 300mm full-frame plus), and Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus Series (180mm). Watch those beauties down below: 

New focal lengths for S7/i

Cooke continues to grow its S7/i range with the introduction of the 300mm S7/i FFP (Full Frame Plus). In addition, Cooke is announcing a new branch of the S7/i family by introducing three 1:1 macro Full Frame Plus lenses: 60mm, 90mm, and 150mm. All lenses are designed from the ground up, as real motion picture lenses. The Cooke S7/i Full Frame Plus Primes are designed to cover the emergent full-frame cinema camera sensors. Watch them below:

New focal length for Anamorphic/i FFP

Furthermore, Cooke expands its Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus range as well, with a new 180mm glass. The Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus Standard and SF (Special Flair) prime lenses represent the next logical step in the evolution of filmmaking:  large format production with anamorphic characteristics, including flare and oval bokeh. Coverage circle covers a full 24 x 36 still size sensor with 1.8 squeeze. At 2x squeeze, you would lose too many pixels. At 1.6x you won’t get enough anamorphic character. At 1.8x you have that sweet spot with a great anamorphic feel and about 90% of the pixels at 2.4:1. Explore this new lens below:

The “Cooke Look”

For more educational content regarding Cooke’s glass, you should read our articles about the implementations of Cooke lenses in productions. For instance, read this case study which demonstrates the Cooke Anamorphic/i on the making of The Dark Crystal which were paired with a modified RED Dragon VV camera. Also, check out Y.M.Cinema Magazine in-depth article regarding the utilization of Cooke miniS4/i in wildlife cinematography (Wildlife Cinematography: Capturing the Power of Nature With RED and Cooke). The “Cooke Look” has an important impact on the visuals of Netflix, Oscar, and indie productions as well. For more information, statistics, articles, and charts,  go to our Cooke tab on the website.
