Cooke S8 / i 18mm / T1.4 PL

The Pinnacle of Full Frame Cinematography

The Cooke S8/i 18mm T1.4 PL is a high-speed wide-angle prime engineered for large-format sensors. It delivers the legendary "Cooke Look," characterized by organic skin tones and smooth fall-off, while maintaining the agility required for modern digital cinema cameras.

High-Speed Performance and Low Light Mastery

With a fast T1.4 aperture, the S8/i series provides exceptional control over depth of field and superior performance in low-light environments. The all-spherical optical design ensures maximum performance at full aperture, minimizing distortion and controlling spherical aberration.

Intelligent /i Technology Integration

Designed with the latest /i technology, this lens provides critical metadata for post-production. This includes /i data for focus and iris position, /i motion inertial data, and /i maps for factory-calibrated shading and distortion data. The modular electronics board is positioned for easy serviceability.

Mechanical Precision and Build

The lens features Cooke's Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement, providing smooth, backlash-free operation. Every focus mark is individually calibrated and engraved on both sides of the barrel. The external finish is a scratch-resistant PTFE hard-anodised coating for maximum durability.
