Lens Overview — Cooke 75mm 1.8x SF

The Cooke 75mm Anamorphic/i SF is a manual-focus prime cinema lens built for the PL Mount and designed around the Super 35 format. It sits in the standard focal length range and carries a maximum aperture of T2.3, making it a capable choice for controlled lighting environments on set. Weighing in at 3,221g, this is a substantial piece of glass built to the tolerances expected of professional cinema production.

As an anamorphic type lens, it brings that signature widescreen aesthetic to Super 35 digital and film cameras. The lens is entirely manual focus, with no autofocus or image stabilization — entirely consistent with cinema production workflows where follow focus systems and lens control motors are standard tools. The PL Mount is the dominant standard in professional cinema cameras, and this lens is designed to slot directly into that ecosystem.

Whether you're shooting narrative features, episodic content, or commercial work, the Cooke 75mm SF occupies a useful focal length for coverage, interviews, and mid-range dramatic compositions. Its 3,221g build reflects the optical and mechanical engineering that professional cinema production demands from a workhorse prime at this level.

The Cooke 75mm Anamorphic/i SF is a prime cinema lens with a fixed 75mm focal length, designed for the PL Mount and optimized for Super 35 format cameras. With a maximum aperture of T2.3, it offers solid light transmission for controlled production environments. The lens is an anamorphic type, bringing the distinctive widescreen look that the format is known for to Super 35 acquisition.

Image stabilization is absent, as expected for a lens of this class. The lens tips the scales at 3,221g, reflecting its professional-grade optical and mechanical construction. The PL Mount ensures compatibility with the professional cinema camera ecosystem.
