Cooke S8 / i 35mm / T1.4 PL

The Evolution of the Cooke Look: S8/i 35mm T1.4

The Cooke S8/i 35mm T1.4 PL represents a pinnacle in modern cinematography, offering a faster, lighter, and smarter solution for Full Frame capture. Designed to deliver the legendary Cooke Look, this all-spherical lens provides organic skin tones and a smooth roll-off while maintaining the technical precision required for high-resolution digital sensors.

Unmatched Speed and Optical Performance

With a maximum aperture of T1.4, the S8/i is among the fastest lenses available for larger than Full Frame formats. This speed grants cinematographers exceptional control over depth of field and flare, ensuring superior performance in low-light environments. The optical design is engineered to minimize distortion and spherical aberration while maximizing performance at wide-open apertures.

Advanced /i Technology Integration

Built from the ground up with the latest /i Intelligent technology, the S8/i 35mm captures critical metadata including focus and iris position, motion inertial data, and factory-calibrated shading and distortion maps. This data streamlines post-production workflows and enhances VFX integration.

Precision Engineering and Handling

• Cam-Style Focus: Features the Academy Award winning movement for smooth, backlash-free operation.
• Calibrated Scaling: Every focus mark is individually engraved on both sides of the barrel for ease of use.
• Uniformity: A common 104mm front diameter and standardized gear positions (140T/134T) ensure seamless lens swaps.
• Durable Finish: Coated with a scratch-resistant PTFE hard anodised finish for demanding environmental conditions.

The S8/i 35mm is color-balanced to match the entire Cooke range, ensuring visual consistency across your production. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for handheld, Steadicam, and drone applications without compromising on the robust build quality expected from Cooke Optics.
