The Cooke S4/i lenses are the absolute benchmark in Super 35 spherical prime lenses for the modern film industry, and the most widely used prime lens set in Hollywood history. Designed to deliver maximum performance at full aperture with superior control of flare, geometric distortion, veiling glare, and spherical aberration, the S4/i represent the perfect balance between the unmistakable Cooke Look™ — warm, organic, three-dimensional skin tones — and the technical precision and reliability demanded by high-end production. Their constant T2.0 aperture across all focal lengths and cam-style focus mechanism with smooth, backlash-free focus pulls make them the definitive working lens for first assistant camera operators. Built-in Cooke /i Technology for frame-by-frame lens metadata recording directly into the camera.
With a uniform 110mm front diameter across all focal lengths — except the 150mm and 180mm — and modular construction for easy on-set maintenance, the S4/i lenses are colour-matched with all other lenses in the Cooke line. The series covers a focal range of 14mm to 150mm in the set we offer, with a linear iris, individually calibrated focus marks engraved on both sides of the barrel, and scales in both metric and footage. PL mount.
Perfect for: cinematographers and first assistant camera operators seeking maximum technical reliability, benchmark optical performance, and the unmistakable Cooke Look™ on Super 35 — the most awarded and widely used prime lens set in the history of cinema, for any type of high-end professional production.
