Your choice of lens is not just a technical decision, it determines individuality and expresses creativity. The S8/i is capable of the highest resolution yet its advanced, all-spherical design produces an evolution of the iconic Cooke Look™ and a beautiful bokeh.
A complete range of perfectly matched high-speed full frame cine lenses, consisting of 16 different focal lengths from 18mm to 350mm. All created to the same exacting standard and hand-crafted to the same exceptional quality and reliability.
* Lineup of 11 lenses is available now (18, 25, 27, 32, 35, 40, 50, 65, 75, 100 and 135mm), with more focal lengths coming later in 2023. New Focal Lengths
Following the introduction of the S8/i series last year with the initial seven lenses assortment, we are pleased to now offer four additional focal lengths – 27mm, 35mm, 65mm and the highly anticipated 18mm – available to order now.
All-Spherical Design
The new S8/i FF features premium all-spherical lenses, which produce a uniquely organic, cinematic quality, which is characterised by smooth, spherical bokeh and minimal colour fringing, enabling you to create sensitive and emotive images with a high degree of dimensionality.
Faster
With a maximum aperture of T1.4 across the majority of the focal lengths range, the S8/i FF lenses are amongst the very fastest produced for larger than Full Frame capture. They offer excellent control over depth of field and flare characteristics, whilst still providing exceptional low light performance.
Lighter
Compact and light, agile and easy to handle, the new S8/i FF lenses have been created for a wide variety of situations and today’s digital cinema cameras. Being lighter, however, has not compromised strength, durability, or their exceptional image aesthetic.
Smarter
Designed from the ground up to incorporate our very latest intelligent /i technology, which includes /i data focus and iris position, /i motion inertial data and /i maps, our factory calibrated shading and distortion data. They also benefit from a high degree of modularity, which increases reliability and reduces servicing time.
Handcrafted Precision
Modern and traditional grinding and polishing techniques are combined to achieve the highest level of precision. Sophisticated thin film equipment and traditional cementing processes are utilised to ensure optimum coatings. Finally, lenses are meticulously assembled, exhaustively tested, checked and re-checked.
