Description — Cooke 27mm T2.0
The Cooke 27mm S7/I Full Frame Plus is a prime cinema lens with a fixed 27mm focal length and a PL Mount, built for Cinema/Video camera systems. It delivers a maximum aperture of T2.0 and is rated to cover full-frame sensors, making it suitable for high-end cinema productions shooting on modern large-format digital cinema cameras. The lens is manual focus only with no autofocus capability and no image stabilization, placing it firmly in the tradition of professional cinema glass where operator control and optical consistency are the priorities.
Weighing 3,400g, it is a substantial lens that will require appropriate rigging and support. No filter thread size is specified, so front-end filtration should be planned using a matte box or similar solution. As a standard focal length prime within the S7/I series, it is well-suited to dialogue scenes, interviews, and general narrative cinematography.
