Cooke S4/i Super 35 cine primes — T2.0, soft-edged "Cooke Look" with warm color rendition. The default reach for warm, organic skin tones.
Definition
The Cooke S4/i is a high-quality series of cine prime lenses specifically designed for Super 35mm sensors. These professional lenses are characterized by their distinct warm, organic image rendition and the legendary "Cooke Look" – a subtle softness in the peripheral areas while maintaining a sharp center. The S4/i series includes focal lengths from 12mm to 300mm with a consistent T2.0 aperture (on most focal lengths).
A special feature is the integrated "/i Technology" system, which can digitally transmit metadata such as focal length, aperture, and focus position to the camera. This significantly simplifies post-production, especially for VFX-intensive productions.
Practical Application
Cooke S4/i lenses are preferred for high-end cinema productions, premium TV series, and commercials. They offer natural skin tone reproduction and produce a cinematic bokeh (out-of-focus rendering) that is particularly appreciated for portrait shots. The robust construction and precise focus and aperture rings make them ideal for professional shoots with follow focus systems.
