The Cooke S7/i FF (Full Frame Plus) is a high-end, premium series of prime lenses designed for professional motion picture production. They are designed for large format, full-frame cinema cameras, offering coverage up to 46.31mm, which covers sensors larger than traditional Full Frame or VistaVision, such as the RED Weapon 8K.
Key features and characteristics include:
- The “Cooke Look”: Known for producing warm, natural skin tones and a smooth roll-off that adds dimensionality to the image.
- Optics: They are designed to provide maximum performance at full aperture, offering excellent control of flare, distortion, and spherical aberration.
- Range: The series is comprehensive, offering 14 different focal lengths ranging from 16mm to 300mm.
- Speed: Most lenses in the series have a fast maximum aperture of T2.0.
- /i Technology: The “/i” indicates Cooke’s metadata system, which transmits vital lens data (aperture, focus distance, depth of field) to the camera to streamline production and post-production workflows.
