Description — Cooke 100mm T2.0
The Cooke 100mm T2.0 S7/i Full Frame Plus Cinema Prime Lens is purpose-built for high-end cinema production. It operates on a PL mount, the professional cinema standard, and is designed for full-frame sensor coverage, making it suitable for large-format digital cinema workflows. The lens is a prime fixed at 100mm, placing it in the telephoto focal length range — ideal for portraits, compressed backgrounds, and close action coverage.
Its maximum aperture of T2.0 provides meaningful light transmission for challenging lighting conditions on set. Focus is manual, in keeping with professional cinema practice where follow-focus systems deliver the precision and repeatability required for scripted productions. The lens weighs 3.3kg, reflecting the robust optical and mechanical construction expected of cinema-grade glass.
There is no image stabilization, consistent with the stabilized rigs and gimbals typically used in cinema environments. As part of the S7/i series, it is designed to be used alongside other focal lengths in the lineup for consistent optical performance across a production.
