Cooke 75mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic FF Prime Lens for PL Mount, Meter

For professional photographers and filmmakers seeking a lens that combines vintage aesthetics with modern technology, the 75mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic FF Prime Lens for PL Mount is an exceptional choice. This lens is a full-frame version of the popular Cooke Speed Panchro lenses, renowned for their iconic look dating back to the 1920s.

The lens has been meticulously designed to deliver the classic Cooke Look, reimagined for full-frame capture. It offers superior performance at full aperture, with exceptional control over flare, distortion, and spherical aberration. The wide T2.2 aperture allows for a shallow depth of field and excellent low-light shooting capabilities.

This lens is color balanced and matched to ensure consistency across the series, making it a reliable choice for professional shoots. Its robust and durable construction is designed to withstand demanding environments, while the /i Technology records key lens data for every shot, eliminating uncertainty from set-to-post information.

Traditional grinding and polishing techniques are used to achieve the highest level of precision, with more insights and measurements taken than ever before to ensure superior quality. The lens is meticulously tested, checked, modified, cleaned, and rechecked to guarantee flawless performance.

The focus movement of this lens is a testament to Cooke's Academy Award-winning cam-style design. The large lens barrel diameter allows for an increased number of focus markings, particularly at close focus, while a four-point contact bearing ensures smooth, positive, backlash-free movement.

The lens is ergonomically designed with focus scale marks that change from conventional 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.

The 75mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic FF Prime Lens is designed for all shooting applications, including handheld and Steadicam, providing a comfortable balance ratio with the latest compact cameras. It features a common fixed front diameter of 110mm, a focus drive gear of 140T x 0.8 mod, and an iris drive gear of 134T x 0.8.

All PANCHRO/i Classic prime lenses are color balanced, color-matched, and compatible with other Cooke lenses. The lens houses a nine-leaf linear module iris assembly and is compatible with PL mounts with /i Technology contact pins. This lens is a true blend of vintage charm and modern innovation, making it a valuable addition to any professional camera kit.
