Capture cinematic full-frame images with the ultra-fast T1.4 aperture using the S8/i Full Frame Plus 18mm T1.4 Prime Lens by Cooke. Renowned for producing the classic 'Cooke Look,' this lens delivers a warm, wide-angle aesthetic with remarkable clarity. The sturdy PL mount ensures secure attachment, and the uniform positioning of focus and iris gears across the S8/i series simplifies lens changes. Ideal for low-light scenes, its T1.4 aperture provides additional light intake. The lens is engineered for versatility, adept in studio or on location, and is compatible with stabilizers and drones. It offers consistent color rendering with other Cooke lenses, and features dual-sided focus markings. Embedded i/Technology contacts provide metadata for focus, aperture, and depth of field to compatible cameras. A precision-engineered cam-type focus mechanism yields exact focus markings, while Cooke's 9-leaf iris design ensures precise light control.

Featuring a 136mm front diameter, this S8/i FF lens comes with precisely designed focus and iris drive gears (140T x 0.8 MOD and 134T x 0.8 respectively), facilitating compatibility with various cinematic accessories.
