The set combines two series that evolved over several decades: the <strong>18mm and 25mm belong to the S3 series<\/strong> \u2014 designed to eliminate vignetting in 35mm format \u2014 while the <strong>32, 40, 50, 75 and 100mm belong to the S2 series<\/strong>, in which optical performance was improved and the longer focal lengths were introduced. The result is a 7-lens set covering the full <strong>Super 35<\/strong> format in <strong>PL<\/strong> mount with the unmistakable <strong>Cooke Look\u2122<\/strong>: soft, organic, warm images, exceptional skin tone rendition, and a touch of distortion and vignetting that is particularly flattering for portraiture.<\/p>\n<p>The TLS rehousing completely updates the original mechanics while fully preserving the classic optical character, giving these lenses a modern mechanical feel comparable to the Cooke S4: a uniform <strong>110mm front diameter<\/strong> across the full set, <strong>270\u00b0 of focus rotation<\/strong>, standard <strong>0.8 MOD<\/strong> focus and iris gears, and individually calibrated focus scales engraved on both sides of the barrel. Their aperture of <strong>T2.2<\/strong> is consistent across all focal lengths except the 100mm (T2.6), ensuring even exposure when cutting between focal lengths within the same set. Very competitive minimum focus distance for vintage lenses: <strong>20 cm<\/strong> on both the 18mm and 25mm.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Type: Super 35 vintage prime lenses \u2014 TLS cinematic rehousing<\/li>\n<li>Series: 18 and 25mm from the S3 series \u2014 32, 40, 50, 75 and 100mm from the S2 series<\/li>\n<li>Sensor coverage: Super 35<\/li>\n<li>Mount: PL<\/li>\n<li>Aperture: T2.2\u2013T22 (18, 25, 32, 40, 50, 75mm) \u2014 T2.6\u2013T22 (100mm)<\/li>\n<li>Front diameter: 110mm uniform across the full set<\/li>\n<li>Iris blades: 8 (18\u201375mm) \u2014 16 (100mm)<\/li>\n<li>Focus rotation: 270\u00b0 across all focal lengths<\/li>\n<li>Iris rotation: 90\u00b0 across all focal lengths<\/li>\n<li>Focus and iris gears: 0.8 MOD (cine pitch)<\/li>\n<li>Minimum focus distance: 0.20m (18mm) \u2014 0.20m (25mm) \u2014 0.33m (32mm) \u2014 0.45m (40mm) \u2014 0.55m (50mm) \u2014 0.80m (75mm) \u2014 0.95m (100mm)<\/li>\n<li>Maximum diagonal angle of view Super 35: 80\u00b0 (18mm) \u2014 60\u00b0 (25mm) \u2014 50\u00b0 (32mm) \u2014 41\u00b0 (40mm) \u2014 33\u00b0 (50mm) \u2014 22\u00b0 (75mm) \u2014 16\u00b0 (100mm)<\/li>\n<li>Lens length: 87mm (18mm) \u2014 92mm (25\u201332mm) \u2014 118mm (40\u201350mm) \u2014 155mm (75\u2013100mm)<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 1.2\u20131.8 kg per focal length<\/li>\n<li>Look: organic softness, warmth, exceptional skin tone rendition, flattering distortion and vignetting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Basic Set included<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>18mm \u2014 T2.2 (S3 series)<\/li>\n<li>25mm \u2014 T2.2 (S3 series)<\/li>\n<li>32mm \u2014 T2.2 (S2 series)<\/li>\n<li>40mm \u2014 T2.2 (S2 series)<\/li>\n<li>50mm \u2014 T2.2 (S2 series)<\/li>\n<li>75mm \u2014 T2.2 (S2 series)<\/li>\n<li>100mm \u2014 T2.6 (S2 series)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfect for:<\/strong> cinematographers seeking the most classic, warm, and organic look in the history of cinema on Super 35 format \u2014 with that softness and painterly quality of Hollywood&#8217;s golden age that no modern lens can replicate \u2014, for auteur productions, feature films, commercials, and any project that places visual character and beautiful skin tone rendition above all else.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1417,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_angie_page":false},"product_brand":[281],"product_cat":[632,413,424],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1416","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-cooke","product_cat-spherical-lenses","product_cat-cameras","product_cat-lenses","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":1416,"es":1414},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1416"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1416"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfgrental.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
