The range of this lens makes it useful for many situations. The lens functions incredibly well when fully open, letting the characteristics of it really shine with sharp images and minimal focus breathing. The signature Cooke look has been a staple of the film industry for decades and is highly sought after. This offers sharp focus but a smooth fall off. This also has very strong close focus for a zoom lens, making it that much easier for filming close ups.

This lens matches well with our Cooke Speed Panchro primes and will match most other primes in the Cooke family, like our Cooke S4 set or Cooke SP3 set. This lens can be used on any of our Super 35 cameras, and with one of our expanders it can also be used on any of our full frame cameras.
