AP3 – Bring more to your story

Cooke AP3 is an exciting new prime lens building on Cooke's expertise in anamorphic lenses and the success of SP3.

Anamorphic is a format that demands to be taken seriously and rewards patience over novelty. AP3 brings the optical pedigree of Cooke's high-end anamorphic lineage into a compact, lightweight series built for modern mirrorless cameras. Balanced, purposeful and with the cinematic depth and character you'd expect from Cooke.

AP3 is democratizing anamorphic shooting making the kind of imaging historically reserved for high end productions more available. Here are some of the main ways Cooke achieve this:

  • Compact lens design

  • Interchangeable mounts

  • Balanced, natural optical character

  • Good close focus

AP3 borrows certain optical characteristics from Cooke's Anamorphic/i FF and Anamorphic/i S35 lenses, while borrowing some physical and mechanical properties from SP3.

Derived from Cooke's cine anamorphic optical philosophy:

  • Smooth defocus rendering

  • Strong central image structure

  • Controlled anamorphic artifacts

  • Natural highlight behaviour

Extension of Cooke's SP3 mechanical philosophy:

  • Interchangeable mounts

  • Compact housing and light weight

  • Focus and iris scales for handheld

  • Fits better with target sensors; less cropping on a 16:9 sensor

  • More controlled distortion

  • Effective field of view for 3 focal lengths

3 focal lengths

Designed as a creative tool that can grow over time. Each focal length act as a natural companion to one another but can also be used as a standalone lens making them the ideal focal lengths for owner operators.

  • Selective use for emphasis

  • Each focal length offers a different perspective

  • Integrate with Spherical lenses

  • Expand storytelling over time
