As stated by Cooke: “The S8/i are a cutting edge, state-of-the-art high-speed full-frame lenses motivated by feedback from cinematographers wanting to create more realistic and film-like images with spherical lenses for digital motion capture. An evolution of the Cooke Look, S8/i produces breathtakingly beautiful images with an almost organic feel and a clean bokeh”.

With a maximum aperture of T1.4 across the focal range, the new S8/i FF lenses are amongst the very fastest produced lenses for larger than full-frame capture. They also offer greater control over depth of field and flare characteristics while still providing excellent low light performance without graining.

The current seven focal lengths range in weight from 2.1kg / 4.69 lb for the 50mm T1.4 up to 3.18kg / 7lb for the 135mm T1.4.

Compact and light, agile, and easy to use, the new S8/i FF lenses have been created for a wide variety of situations and today’s compact cameras. Being lighter, however, has not compromised strength, durability, or exceptional image quality.

The S8i lenses include Cooke’s very latest intelligent /i technology.
