All the anamorphic lens characteristics demanded by filmmakers today with the Cooke Look® and oval bokeh. This is the Cooke Anamorphic /i Look. Beautifully rendered images for film and particularly suited for use with digital cameras. The Anamorphic /i lens exceptionally well corrects aberrations across the entire image area – astigmatism, lateral and longitudinal colour – that will give shape, body and soul to your images.

Whilst the "look" is crucial, precision engineering and seamless integration with other equipment are equally important. The Anamorphic /i prime lenses, available in ten focal lengths, are colour matched to our S4/i, 5/i and miniS4/i lenses.

Ideal for close-ups and product shots, the Cooke 65 mm Macro Anamorphic /i 2X Prime lens has a magnification ratio of 4.1:1 with close focus of 5.5" from the front of the lens.

Now you have even more latitude. We've gone further with our new Anamorphic/i SF lenses which are specially manufactured with a coating allowing even more creative options. "SF" stands for Special Flair as they allow you to push flares, bokeh and other aberrations into new visual territories. Complementary to the Anamorphic/i lens series, they are available in 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 135mm, 180mm, and 300mm focal lengths.
The Anamorphic /i lenses deliver superb optical and mechanical performance. Distortion, veiling glare, flare and all aberrations are controlled at all apertures across the entire field of view. Like our S4/i, 5/i and miniS4/i prime lenses, the cam focus mechanism enables smooth focus adjustments. Modular construction increases ease of servicing and maintenance. Anamorphic /i lenses are designed and manufactured by us to our traditional high standards in Leicester, England. Highlights

Particularly well balanced for astigmatism and corrected for lateral and longitudinal aberrations across the entire image area

Linear Iris

Equipped with the next generation of /i Squared* technology for lens metadata capture

Award-winning cam-type focus mechanism enabling smooth focus adjustments
Our Cooke Anamorphic/i Prime lenses are supplied with /i technology, and are designed for all professional PL mount cinema cameras, film and electronic. The /i technology provides directors of photography and camera operators with essential information on lens settings, focus distance, aperture and depth of field, hyperfocal distance, serial number, owner data, lens type and focal length in metric and feet measurements. For zooms, zoom position is displayed.

Key Features of Cooke Anamorphic /i Technology Lenses

Optical Design

The optics are designed to deliver maximum performance at full aperture with superior control of flare, distortion and spherical aberration.

Electronics

Accessible via a cable connector near the lens mount and contacts in the mount that sync with /i compatible cameras and accessories.

Colour Balance

All Cooke Anamorphic/i prime lenses are colour balanced to Kodak approved specifications and are colour matched and compatible with Cooke 5/i, Cooke S4/i, miniS4/i lenses and the CXX 15-40 mm T2 S4/i zoom.

Aperture

All Cooke Anamorphic/i prime lenses have a true T2.3 aperture and cover Super 35mm format, except the 65mm MACRO which has a T2.6 aperture.

Index Marks

Each index mark is labelled. More detailed markings enable more precise focus control.

Focus Movement

Our Academy Award® winning cam focus mechanism, combined with the advantage of a large lens barrel diameter, has enabled an increase in the number of focus marks, particularly in close focus. Spherical aberration has been controlled throughout the focal range to eliminate compensation for back focus changes with aperture. A four-point contact bearing ensures smooth, play-free movement.

Focus Graduation

Large clear numbers on both sides of the focus barrel assist the focus puller when shooting in difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, the entrance pupil position is engraved on the lens.

Camera Mounts

Hardened Cooke PL mount with /i technology contacts.

Compatibility

All Cooke Anamorphic/i lenses have a common fixed front diameter of 110mm, except the 25, 65 MACRO and 300mm focal lengths and the Anamorphic/i zooms, which are 136mm. All have a 134T x 0.8 iris drive gear.

External Finish

A hard anodised PTFE scratch-resistant finish is applied to all Cooke lenses, providing a durable and resilient surface to meet the most demanding environmental conditions.

Iris

An eleven-blade linear module iris assembly is fitted in Cooke Anamorphic/i prime lenses with an aperture range of T2.3 to T22; T2.6 to T22 on the 65mm MACRO, T2.8 to T22 on the 180mm, and T3.5 to T22 on the 300mm.

Weight/Size Ratio

The lenses are designed for all shooting applications, including handheld and Steadicam, providing a comfortable balance ratio with the latest compact cameras.

Reliability and Service

The Cooke Anamorphic/i prime lenses are designed to meet a market requirement for totally reliable performance with minimum downtime.
