About Cooke Anamorphic/I 1.8x Plus SF

While embracing the artistry of anamorphic cinematography, the 40mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount stands as a pinnacle of professional lens design, offering filmmakers and photographers the ability to capture expansive, high-resolution images with a distinct anamorphic aesthetic. This high-quality, durable lens is engineered to cover a full 24 x 36mm still size sensor, maximizing the use of today's full-frame camera capabilities.

The lens's 1.8x anamorphic squeeze factor hits the sweet spot between the excessive pixel loss of a 2x squeeze and the insufficient anamorphic character of a 1.6x squeeze. This optimal balance ensures a compelling anamorphic feel while preserving about 90% of the pixels when shooting at a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. For those seeking to utilize the entire sensor area, shooting at 2.7:1 delivers the full frame and 100% pixel utilization, ensuring that every detail is captured with precision.

With a wide T2.3 aperture, this lens excels in various lighting conditions, granting cinematographers the versatility to create shallow depth of field effects and shoot in lower light environments without compromising image quality. The professional-grade optics provide superb control over flare, distortion, veiling glare, and spherical aberrations even at full aperture, which is essential for maintaining image integrity and achieving the desired cinematic look.

The lens's cam-type focus mechanism is designed for smooth, precise focus adjustments, making it a reliable tool for capturing crisp, clear images. Its modular construction not only enhances durability but also simplifies maintenance and serviceability, ensuring that the lens can withstand the rigors of professional use.

Equipped with Cooke's /i Technology, the Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus SF Prime Lens captures frame-by-frame digital information, a feature shared by all modern Cooke cine lenses. This technology facilitates seamless integration with film and digital capture workflows, making it a versatile choice for industry professionals.

In summary, the 40mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount is a testament to Cooke's legacy of producing reliable, professional-grade lenses that meet the exacting demands of photography and filmmaking. Its unique anamorphic qualities and exceptional optical performance make it a standout choice for creators seeking to elevate their visual storytelling.
