FAQ

What does the 1.8x squeeze in the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens mean?

The 1.8x squeeze refers to the aspect ratio of the lens. It strikes a balance between preserving pixel count and providing an authentic anamorphic feel, retaining about 90% of the pixels at a 2.4:1 aspect ratio.

What is the /i Technology equipped in the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens?

/i Technology is a feature in all modern Cooke cine lenses that captures frame by frame digital information, enhancing film and digital capture capabilities.

What does the T2.3 stop in the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens mean?

The T2.3 stop refers to the lens' aperture. This is the setting that controls how much light enters the lens. A T2.3 stop allows for a significant amount of light, making this lens suitable for low light conditions.

What is meant by the lens' modular construction?

Modular construction means that the lens is designed in separate parts or modules. This design makes it easier to maintain and service the lens, as individual parts can be repaired or replaced without affecting the whole unit.

How does the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens control spherical aberrations?

The lens offers excellent control over spherical aberrations, even at full aperture. This means that it can prevent the distortion of the image that occurs when light rays entering the lens at different angles fail to converge at a single point.

About Cooke Anamorphic/I 1.8x Plus SF

Enhance your filmmaking experience with the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount.
