Cooke S8 / i 75mm / T1.4 PL

The Evolution of the Cooke Look: S8/i 75mm T1.4 FF Prime

The Cooke S8/i 75mm T1.4 is a flagship full-frame cinema prime designed for cinematographers who demand speed, agility, and the legendary Cooke Look. Featuring an all-spherical optical design, this lens provides a unique aesthetic with organic skin tones and smooth fall-off, optimized for the latest high-resolution digital sensors.

Unmatched Speed and Optical Precision

With a fast T1.4 maximum aperture, the S8/i 75mm excels in low-light environments and offers precise control over depth of field. The optical construction is engineered to minimize distortion and spherical aberration while maintaining controlled flare characteristics, ensuring maximum performance even at wide-open apertures.

Advanced /i Technology Integration

Built from the ground up for modern workflows, the S8/i incorporates the latest /i Intelligent technology. This system captures critical metadata, including focus and iris positions, motion inertial data, and factory-calibrated maps for shading and distortion. This data streamlines post-production and VFX pipelines by providing frame-accurate lens information.

Mechanical Excellence and Handling

Despite its high-speed optics, the S8/i 75mm remains compact and lightweight for handheld and Steadicam applications. It features Cooke Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement and a large barrel diameter for increased focus markings. Every lens is finished with a scratch-resistant PTFE hard-anodized coating to withstand rigorous production environments.

• Front Diameter: Common 104mm for easy matte box compatibility.
• Iris: Nine-leaf linear module for natural bokeh.
• Focus Scaling: Individually calibrated marks on both sides of the barrel.
• Mount: PL mount with LPL options available.
