Cooke 35-140mm T3.1 2x Anamorphic/i Lens for PL Mount

Where cutting-edge technology meets the art of cinematography, the Cooke 35-140mm T3.1 2x Anamorphic/i Lens for PL Mount stands out. This lens is a game-changer in the realm of anamorphic filmmaking, offering the much-coveted Cooke Look and oval bokeh. It's a 4x true, front anamorphic zoom lens that provides the creative flexibility that modern cinematographers have been eagerly anticipating.

This Cooke Anamorphic/i zoom lens is equipped with patented optical design that amalgamates a unique blend of attributes. It comes with /i Technology, designed to be compatible with all PL mounted professional motion picture film and electronic cameras. This technology provides vital information on lens setting, focusing distance, aperture, depth-of-field, hyperfocal distance, serial number, owner data, lens type, and focal length in both metric and footage measurements. For zoom lenses, the zoom position is also displayed.

The optical design of this lens is engineered to deliver maximum performance at full aperture, with superior control of flare, distortion, and spherical aberration. The /i Electronics are accessible via a cable connector near the lens mount and contacts in mount that sync with /i compatible cameras and accessories.

The Cooke Anamorphic/i lenses are color balanced to a specification within parameters approved by Kodak. They are color-matched and compatible with Cooke 5/i, Cooke S4/i, miniS4/i, and CXX 15-40 mm T2 S4/i Zoom lenses. The Cooke Anamorphic/i 35-140mm zoom lens features a true T3.1 aperture and covers the Super 35mm format.

Every index mark on the lens is labeled, allowing for precise focus control. The lens also features the Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement, coupled with a large lens barrel diameter, which allows for an increased number of focus markings, especially at close focus. Spherical aberration is controlled throughout the range of focal lengths to eliminate the need for compensation of changes in back focus with aperture. A four-point contact bearing ensures a smooth, positive, backlash-free movement.

The lens features large, clear numerals on both sides of the focus barrel, aiding the focus puller in challenging lighting conditions. The Entrance Pupil position is also engraved on the lens. The lens comes with a hardened PL Mount with /i Technology contacts.

All Cooke Anamorphic/i lenses have a common, fixed front diameter of 110mm, with the exception of the 25, 65 MACRO, 300mm focal lengths, and the Anamorphic/i zoom lenses, which are 136mm. All lenses feature an iris drive gear of 134T x 0.8.

The external finish of the lens is a scratch-resistant PTFE hard anodized finish, designed to withstand the most demanding environmental conditions. The lens is fitted with an eleven-leaf linear module iris assembly, with an aperture range of T3.1 to T22.

The Cooke Anamorphic/i lenses are designed for all shooting applications, including handheld and Steadicam, providing a comfortable balance ratio with the latest compact cameras. These lenses are built to offer reliable performance with minimal downtime, meeting the market's demand for high-quality, durable lenses.
