Cooke 100mm T2.6 Panchro/i Classic FF Prime Lens for PL Mount, Meter

Become a master of your craft with the 100mm T2.6 Panchro/i Classic FF Prime Lens for PL Mount, a high-quality, professional-grade lens designed by Cooke. This lens is a full-frame version of the popular Cooke Speed Panchro lenses, renowned for their vintage look reminiscent of the 1920's, now reimagined for modern full-frame capture.

This versatile lens is color balanced and color matched, ensuring consistency across the series and compatibility with existing Cooke ranges. It's designed to deliver the classic Cooke Look, making it a true icon in the world of photography.

The lens boasts an optical design that provides maximum performance at full aperture, offering superior control of flare, distortion, and spherical aberration. The maximum aperture of T2.6 allows for greater control over depth of field, making it ideal for low-light photography and creating a shallow depth of field.

The lens features a manual focus movement, designed with the Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement. This, coupled with a large lens barrel diameter, allows for an increased number of focus markings, particularly at close focus. A four-point contact bearing ensures a smooth, positive, backlash-free movement.

The focus scale marks are ergonomically designed, changing from conventional focus scale distance marks to magnification ratio marks through the movement. Every focus mark is individually calibrated and engraved on both sides of the focus barrel at the factory, ensuring precision and ease of use.

The lens also incorporates /i Technology, accessible via a cable connector near the lens mount and contacts in the mount that sync with /i compatible cameras and accessories. This technology records key lens data for every shot, removing uncertainty from set-to-post information.

Designed for all shooting applications, including handheld and Steadicam, this lens provides a comfortable balance ratio with the latest compact cameras. All Cooke PANCHRO/i Classic FF lenses have a common fixed front diameter of 110mm, with a focus drive gear of 140T x 0.8 mod and an iris drive gear of 134T x 0.8.

The lens houses a nine-leaf linear module iris assembly, ensuring a smooth and precise control of the aperture. The PL mount with /i Technology contact pins ensures compatibility with a wide range of cameras.

Experience the blend of vintage aesthetics and modern opto-mechanical design with the 100mm T2.6 Panchro/i Classic FF Prime Lens for PL Mount, a reliable and durable choice for any professional photographer.
