Cooke 85mm T2.8 Anamorphic/i 1.8x MACRO Full Frame Plus Standard Lens

Enhance your filmmaking experience with the 85mm T2.8 Anamorphic/i 1.8x MACRO Full Frame Plus Standard Lens. This lens is the epitome of cinematic evolution, offering large format production capabilities combined with distinctive anamorphic features such as unique flare and oval bokeh. Designed to cover a full 24 x 36 still size sensor with a 1.8 squeeze, this lens ensures you don't lose valuable pixels that you would with a 2x squeeze, nor compromise on the anamorphic character as with a 1.6x squeeze.

The 1.8x squeeze hits the sweet spot, delivering a rich anamorphic feel while retaining approximately 90% of the pixels at a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. Opt to shoot at 2.7:1, and you'll utilize the entire available frame and 100% of the pixels, maximizing your image quality.

The 85mm T2.8 Anamorphic/i 1.8x MACRO Full Frame Plus Standard Lens is renowned for its superior optical and mechanical performance. It offers exceptional control of flare, distortion, veiling glare, and spherical aberrations even at full aperture. The cam-type focus mechanism ensures smooth and precise focus adjustments, enhancing your control over every shot.

This lens features a modular construction, enhancing its ease of maintenance and serviceability. It comes equipped with /i Technology, a feature found in all modern Cooke cine lenses, which allows for frame by frame digital information capture, making it ideal for both film and digital capture.

Unlike other focal lengths, the 85mm MACRO stands out with a T2.8 stop, while still maintaining the 1.8x squeeze. This lens is a perfect blend of technology and design, offering filmmakers a tool that can truly transform their visual storytelling.
