Cooke 180mm T2.9 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount

Become a master of your craft with the high-quality 180mm T2.9 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount. This professional-grade lens is a game-changer in the world of large format production, offering unique anamorphic characteristics such as distinctive flare and oval bokeh.

Designed to cover a full 24 x 36 still size sensor, this lens provides a 1.8x squeeze, striking the perfect balance between pixel retention and anamorphic character. Unlike a 2x squeeze that compromises pixel count, or a 1.6x squeeze that lacks sufficient anamorphic feel, our 1.8x squeeze hits the sweet spot, retaining about 90% of the pixels at 2.4:1. For those aiming to utilize the entire frame, shooting at 2.7:1 ensures 100% pixel usage.

This versatile lens boasts superb optical and mechanical performance, providing exceptional control over flare, distortion, veiling glare, and spherical aberrations even at full aperture. The durable cam-type focus mechanism allows for smooth and precise focus adjustments, enhancing your photography and filmmaking experience.

The lens's modular construction not only ensures its reliability but also increases ease of maintenance and serviceability. Equipped with /i Technology, this lens captures frame by frame digital information, a feature common to all modern Cooke cine lenses designed for both film and digital capture.

With a fixed focal length of 180mm and a fast maximum aperture of T2.9, this lens is perfect for creating a shallow depth of field and performing exceptionally in low-light conditions. Compatible with full-frame cameras and the PL mount, this lens is a valuable addition to any professional's toolkit.
