Features
Optical Design
The optics are designed to give maximum performance at full aperture with superior control of flare, distortion and spherical aberration.
/i Electronics
Accessible via cable connector near the lens mount and contacts in mount that sync with /i compatible cameras and accessories.
Colour Balance
All Cooke 5/i prime lenses are colour balanced to a specification within parameters approved by Kodak and are colour-matched and compatible with Cooke S4/i, Panchro by Cooke, CXX 15-40 mm T2 S4/i Zoom, 18-100mm T3.0 and 25-250mm T3.7 and the SK4 16mm lenses.
T1.4 Aperture
All Cooke 5/i primes have a true T1.4 aperture and cover Super 35mm format.
Index Marks
Every index mark is labeled. More detailed markings allow for more detailed focus control.
Focus Movement
Our Academy Award® winning cam-style focus movement coupled with the added benefit of a large lens barrel diameter, has allowed for an increased number of focus markings, particularly at close focus. Spherical aberration has been controlled throughout the range of focal lengths to eliminate compensation of changes in back focus with aperture. A four-point contact bearing provides a smooth positive backlash-free movement.
Focus Illumination*
This revolutionary, dimmable, illuminated focus ring has two separately toggled light pipes that allow the camera operator or focus puller to read the focus scale in low lighting conditions. Illumination options are controlled on the lens or via an external controller.
Camera Mounts
PL Mount
Focus Scaling
Large, clear numerals on both sides of the focus barrel benefit the focus puller when shooting under difficult lighting conditions. Plus the the Entrance Pupil position is engraved on the lens
