Cooke SP3 Prime 6-Lens Set with 18/25/32/50/75/100mm T2.4 Lens for Sony E

For filmmakers and cinematographers seeking to elevate their storytelling, the Cooke SP3 Prime 6-Lens Set with 18/25/32/50/75/100mm T2.4 lenses for Sony E mount offers a blend of legacy and innovation. Inspired by the iconic Speed Panchro lenses, the SP3 series is a modern reimagining, meticulously optimized for full-frame mirrorless cameras. This set empowers creatives to enhance their visual narratives with precision and artistry.

The Cooke SP3 lenses are designed with user-changeable mounts, providing flexibility for key cameras, including the Sony E mount. Their compact and lightweight construction, combined with an ergonomic design and tough anodized shell, ensures durability and ease of use in various shooting environments.

These lenses are Panchro compatible, seamlessly matching with the Cooke Panchro/i Classic (PL-mount) for a cohesive visual aesthetic. The shared architecture of focus and iris mechanics across the set allows for swift and accurate lens changes, maintaining consistent focus and iris motor positions.

The SP3 series excels in "painting with light," offering cinematographers the tools to translate technical precision into a visual language that resonates emotionally. With a focus on making human subjects appear authentic, the SP3 lenses combine resolution and color to convey characters' emotions convincingly. The calibrated on-axis sharpness naturally draws viewers' attention to the center of the image, creating a familiar visual experience.

Sculpting with depth is another hallmark of the SP3 lenses. Their all-spherical design provides a smooth, round bokeh and a subtle focus fall-off, enhancing the perception of space and dimension. When used wide open, these lenses offer focus fall-off at the frame's edges, adding a dynamic quality to the imagery.

The SP3 series captures specular flaring and veiling glare organically, allowing cinematographers to focus on their creative vision without overwhelming the image with artifacts. Specialized optical coatings ensure controlled flare and consistent color across the lens set.

Dynamic dimensionality is achieved through a sharpness concentrated at the image center, complemented by a gentle focus fall-off towards the edges, mimicking human vision. This characteristic, known as the Cooke Look, is designed to offer extra dimensionality and depth to the image.

Capable of supporting 8K resolution and beyond, the SP3 lenses are optimized for modern digital sensors. Their optical design combines the Cooke Look with sharp on-axis focus and a natural fall-off in the field. Ergonomically designed for smooth and accurate focus movement, these lenses feature a non-linear focus mechanism.

The SP3 lenses are equipped with standardized 0.8 MOD focus and iris drive gears. The 25mm to 75mm lenses have a fixed common front diameter of 64mm, while the 18mm and 100mm lenses have a front diameter of 82mm. A nine-leaf iris assembly ensures smooth aperture transitions, covering Full Frame and Super35 formats with apertures ranging from T2.4 to T16.

Each SP3 lens is coated with a scratch-resistant finish, providing a durable surface for demanding conditions. The lenses feature non-linear focus scales with dual imperial and metric measurements, ensuring precision in focus adjustments. Color balanced and matched across the series, the SP3 lenses are further aligned with the Panchro/i Classic FF for consistent color rendition.

The Cooke SP3 Prime 6-Lens Set is a versatile and compact solution for all shooting applications, offering a perfect balance of weight and size for filmmakers dedicated to crafting compelling visual stories.
