Cooke S8 / i 25mm / T1.4 PL

The Evolution of the Cooke Look

The Cooke S8/i 25mm T1.4 PL represents a pinnacle in modern cinematography, offering a faster, lighter, and smarter solution for full-frame capture. This all-spherical lens is engineered to provide the legendary Cooke Look, characterized by organic textures and smooth roll-off, while meeting the high-resolution demands of contemporary digital sensors.

Exceptional Low-Light Performance

With a maximum aperture of T1.4, the S8/i series is among the fastest lenses available for large-format cinematography. This speed provides cinematographers with unparalleled control over depth of field and flare characteristics, ensuring superior performance in challenging lighting environments without compromising image quality.

Advanced /i Technology Integration

Built from the ground up for the digital age, the S8/i incorporates the latest /i technology. This system captures vital lens metadata to streamline post-production and VFX workflows, including focus and iris position, motion inertial data, and factory-calibrated shading and distortion maps.

Mechanical Precision and Compatibility

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. For seamless on-set transitions, the lens maintains a 104mm front diameter and standardized gear positions (140T focus and 134T iris).

Built for Professional Environments

Despite its lightweight design, the S8/i 25mm is built for durability. The exterior is finished with a scratch-resistant PTFE hard-anodized coating, ensuring it withstands the rigors of professional production. The modular design also facilitates easier servicing, reducing downtime for rental houses and owner-operators.
