Description — Cooke 14mm T2
The Cooke 14mm S4/i T2 Cinema Lens is a wide-angle prime built around the Super 35 sensor format, offering a PL mount for compatibility with professional cinema camera platforms. With a maximum aperture of T2, it provides meaningful light-gathering performance at this focal length, giving cinematographers options in challenging lighting conditions. The fixed 14mm focal length delivers a distinctly wide perspective ideal for establishing shots, interior work, and environmental storytelling.
Designed exclusively for manual focus, this lens fits naturally into professional cinema workflows where precision focus control is handled by a dedicated focus puller using a follow focus system. The lens falls within the Cine category and is positioned as a prime in the wide-angle range. At 2223g, it is a solid, professional-weight optic.
There is no image stabilization, which is standard for cinema primes intended for use on stabilized or rigged camera systems. No filter thread size is specified in available data.

How heavy is the Cooke 14mm S4/i?+
The lens weighs 2223g. This is a substantial weight and should be factored into rig planning, particularly for gimbal or handheld configurations where balance and payload limits are a consideration.
