The Legendary Cooke Look

The SP3 100mm provides the heightened dimensionality and contrast performance that filmmakers expect from Cooke Optics. It renders faces with remarkably believable skin tones and character, offering outstanding resolution at the center while providing the famous cinematic fall-off toward the edges of the frame. Specialized optical coatings ensure controlled flare and consistent color matching across the entire SP3 prime set.

Optimized Workflow

Designed for efficiency on set, the SP3 series features a shared architecture. Focus and iris mechanics are aligned across all focal lengths, allowing for rapid lens changes without the need to reposition follow focus motors. This makes the 100mm an ideal choice for gimbal, drone, and handheld operations where weight and balance are critical.
