Cooke 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount

Enhance your filmmaking experience with the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount. This lens is a significant advancement in the world of large format production, offering distinct anamorphic characteristics such as unique flare and oval bokeh. It provides a comprehensive coverage circle that comfortably accommodates a full 24 x 36 still size sensor with a 1.8 squeeze, striking a perfect balance between pixel preservation and anamorphic character.

Unlike lenses with a 2x squeeze that compromise on pixel count, or those with a 1.6x squeeze that lack sufficient anamorphic character, this lens hits the sweet spot with a 1.8x squeeze. This optimal squeeze ratio delivers an authentic anamorphic feel while retaining about 90% of the pixels at a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. When shooting at a 2.7:1 aspect ratio, you can utilize the entire available frame and 100% of the pixels, ensuring no detail is lost.

The 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount boasts superior optical and mechanical performance. It offers excellent control over flare, distortion, veiling glare, and spherical aberrations even at full aperture, ensuring crisp, clear images every time. The cam-type focus mechanism allows for smooth, precise focus adjustments, enhancing the overall user experience.

This lens also features a modular construction, which simplifies maintenance and increases serviceability. It comes equipped with /i Technology, a standard feature in all modern Cooke cine lenses, which captures frame by frame digital information, enhancing your film and digital capture capabilities.

With a focal length that features a 1.8x squeeze and a T2.3 stop, the 50mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus SF Prime Lens for PL Mount is a versatile tool that can elevate your filmmaking to new heights.
