Cooke S8 / i 27mm / T1.4 PL

The Evolution of the Cooke Look: S8/i 27mm T1.4

The Cooke S8/i 27mm T1.4 PL is a flagship prime lens engineered for the demands of modern Full Frame digital cinematography. Combining a fast T1.4 aperture with a compact, lightweight form factor, this lens delivers the legendary Cooke Look with enhanced organic character and smooth spherical rendering.

Unrivaled Speed and Low-Light Performance

With a maximum aperture of T1.4, the S8/i series ranks among the fastest lenses available for large-format sensors. This speed provides cinematographers with exceptional control over depth of field and flare characteristics while ensuring superior performance in challenging low-light environments.

Advanced /i Technology Integration

Built from the ground up for the digital era, the S8/i incorporates the latest /i Technology. This system captures vital lens metadata, including focus and iris positions, motion inertial data, and factory-calibrated maps for shading and distortion. This data streamlines post-production workflows and enhances visual effects accuracy.

Precision Engineering and Handling

The S8/i 27mm features Cooke's Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement. Every focus mark is individually calibrated and engraved on both sides of the barrel for maximum precision. The 104mm fixed front diameter and standardized gear positions (140T focus, 134T iris) ensure seamless transitions between focal lengths on set.

Durable Build for Professional Environments

Designed for handheld, Steadicam, and gimbal use, the lens offers a balanced weight-to-size ratio. The external housing is finished with a scratch-resistant PTFE hard-anodized coating, providing a rugged surface capable of withstanding the most demanding production environments.
