Under the esteemed Cooke brand, the 40mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic Prime Lens emerges as a modern tribute to the revered vintage Cooke Speed Panchro lenses that defined cinematic imagery from the 1920s to the 1960s. This lens is meticulously crafted to embody the timeless Cooke Look aesthetic, cherished for its unique rendering of skin tones and bokeh, while integrating the advancements of contemporary glass and precision engineering.
The Panchro/i Classic series, which includes this 40mm prime, is optically designed to evoke the classic Speed Panchro character with a modern twist, ensuring compatibility with today's Super 35mm format cameras. The series is renowned for its seamless blend of vintage charm and modern opto-mechanical design, offering filmmakers and photographers the best of both worlds.
With a wide T2.2 aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and provides cinematographers with exquisite control over depth of field, enabling the creation of stunning, cinematic images with a distinct character. The nine-blade linear module iris assembly contributes to a pleasing, rounded bokeh, enhancing the visual appeal of out-of-focus elements.
The ergonomic focus movement of the lens is designed for smooth and precise operation, featuring precision mechanics that ensure consistent resistance throughout the focus range. This attention to detail extends to the lens' construction, where traditional grinding and polishing techniques are employed to achieve the highest level of optical precision.
Cooke's commitment to excellence is further demonstrated through rigorous metrology, ensuring that each lens meets superior quality standards. The meticulous process includes high-temperature vacuum evaporation for coating, precise edging for perfect glass diameters, and thorough cleaning and assembly to guarantee optimal performance.
Equipped with Cooke's /i Technology, the lens intelligently captures frame-by-frame digital information, such as lens settings, focusing distance, aperture, and depth-of-field. This metadata is invaluable for visual effects applications in post-production, streamlining workflows and eliminating guesswork.
The Panchro/i Classic series is color balanced and color matched across all primes, ensuring consistency in color rendition. The standardized 0.8 MOD focus and iris drive gears, along with a fixed common front diameter of 110mm, facilitate ease of use with follow focus systems and matte boxes.
The robust and hard-wearing external finish of the lens is designed to withstand the rigors of professional use in demanding environmental conditions. The precision PL Mount with /i Technology ensures secure attachment to cameras, while the electrical contacts maintain reliable communication with the camera body.
In summary, the 40mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic Prime Lens for PL Mount is a high-quality, professional, durable, versatile, and reliable choice for filmmakers and photographers who seek the legendary Cooke aesthetic with the benefits of modern lens technology.
